Presenting Red Mitchell
# Presenting Red Mitchell

Presenting Red Mitchell is an album by American jazz bassist Red Mitchell recorded in 1957 and released on the Contemporary label.

## Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Bassist Red Mitchell, who had led two fairly obscure sessions for Bethlehem in 1955, came up with a gem on his lone Contemporary set as a leader ...the music is strictly high-quality modern mainstream bop of the era. Easily recommended to collectors of straight-ahead jazz".
