 Notes & Reviews
 
One of the greatest Blue Notes.
- Alexandros Rigas, 07/05/2007, Greece

Full title is: Thing to Do

Length: 40:15

  Al Foster - Drums
  Aloysius Foster - Drums
  Blue Mitchell - Trumpet
  Chick Corea - Piano
  Gene Taylor - Bass
  Junior Cook - Sax (Tenor)

This Blue Mitchell date is a classic, particularly the opening 'Fungii Mama,' which is really catchy. The trumpeter's quintet of the period (which includes tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, the young pianist Chick Corea, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Al Foster ) also performs two Jimmy Heath tunes and a song apiece by Joe Henderson ( 'Step Lightly' ) and Corea. The record is prime Blue Note hard bop, containing inventive tunes, meaningful solos, and an enthusiastic but tight feel. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
