This review is from: Sure Thing (Audio CD)

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."

Personnel:
Blue Mitchell (trumptet)
Clark Terry (flugelhorn, trumptet)
Julius Watkins (french horn)
Jerome Richardson (alto sax, flute) Jimmy Heath (tenor sax)
Pepper Adams (baritone sax)
Wynton Kelly (piano)
Sam Jones (bass)
Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums)
