Unknown Contributor Roles: Jerome Richardson; Julius Watkins; Albert "Tootie" Heath; Pepper Adams; Sam Jones; Wynton Kelly; Pat Patrick . Arranger: Jimmy Heath. Trumpeter Blue Mitchell is well featured on this CD reissue with a nonet arranged by Jimmy Heath. The music is straightahead but, thanks to Heath's arrangements, sometimes unpredictable. Best is Mitchell's solo on "I Can't Get Started," "Hootie's Blues" and a quintet workout (with Heath, pianist Wynton Kelly bassist Sam Jones and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath) on "Gone with the Wind." ~ Scott Yanow
