The Thing To Do showcases Blue Mitchell at the height of his creative powers, leading a stellar ensemble through a set of classic hard bop recorded in 1964. Featuring expressive trumpet work from Mitchell and standout performances by Junior Cook on tenor saxophone and a young Chick Corea on piano, this album radiates with inventiveness and soulful interplay.
From the playful, Monk-inspired charm of the title track to the blues-infused brilliance of “Step Lightly,” each song is a testament to the group’s chemistry and improvisational mastery. This 2016 reissue by UMe invites listeners to experience one of jazz’s essential sessions, celebrated for its engaging melodies and timeless artistry.
