Picked it up last Friday, it's been getting regular car play for the last 4 days. Lovely disc.
It was more traditional than I expected, which was a relief, actually.
Mitchell definitely learned from the best of the soulful players like Quebec [and Ben Webster too]. He has that fat velvety sound.
I like the quality of the packaging as well. Much better than those goofy Verve lp-sleeves.
A clear winner. Thanks for recommending it.
The only minor problem I noticed was the recording itself. I haven't played it on my home stereo yet, but there's a squeeking sound that appears in several spots. I thought it was Mitchell's sax, but even when he lays out, I can hear it. It must be either the drum set or someone's chair.
Has anyone else noticed it?
