There are always surprises in the breadth of Mitchell's musical reach, as in this 1994 session dedicated to the late Donald Myrick. He was a saxophonist, founding member of both Chicago's AACM and the famous funk group Earth, Wind and Fire, and a friend and influence to Mitchell in his high school days in the 1950s. As that greeting in the title suggests, this is a friendly wave across time. The band joins Mitchell and Art Ensemble partner Malachi Favors with two more-traditional players, the veterans Jodie Christian on piano and Albert "Tootie" Heath, a legend of bop drumming. Mitchell digs deep into the well of Chicago blues and bop tenor for "Hey Donald" and his father's "Walking in the Moonlight," and touches on a shared past and the Chicago cityscape in pieces like "Englewood High School," "The Band Room," and "The El." It's emotionally rich, even outsized, music, and the freer duets with Favors create a special dynamism in juxtaposition with the more structured quartet tracks. --Stuart Broomer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past.......2007-07-05

I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is especially poignant.
You certainly can't beat the price!

5 out of 5 stars A Good One!.......2006-11-10

This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

5 out of 5 stars The penultimate disc in a superb set of Burns!.......2000-01-29

Volumes 5 & 6 pick up where the previous two discs left off. (Was there no end to Robert Burns's genius at songwriting? Apparently not.) Play this disc and warm the cockles of your heart.
