Al Grey with Billy Mitchell - Night Song (Argo, DJLP-711)

Here's a dj copy of an 62' Argo recording by a septet led by trombonist Al Grey who had several mainstream albums of Argo at that time. This features great sax playing of Billy Mitchell on some of famous standards. Their versions are rather obvious and therefore not essential, but anyway are a good enjoyable listen.









Originally issued on Argo, LP-711. Recorded in 1962 in Chicago.

Al Grey (trombone)
Billy Mitchell (tenor sax)
Dave Burns (trumpet)
Bobby Hutcherson (vibes)
Earl Washington (piano)
Herman Wright (bass)
Otis Finch (drums)
Phil Thomas (congas)

Songs are: 
A1 Blues In The Night
A2 Stella By Starlight
A3 The Way You Look Tonight
B1 Through For The Night
B2 Stardust
B3 Night And Day
B4 Laughing Tonight

The one I prefer is Carmichaels' Stardust.
