Get Those Elephants Out'a Here is an album by “The Mitchells”: bassist Whitey Mitchell, his brother, bassist and pianist Red and trumpeter Blue Mitchell (no relation). Featuring pianist André Previn, it was recorded for the MetroJazz label in 1958.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden states: "Bassist Whitey Mitchell is the leader of this fascinating 1958 studio session, which features his better-known older brother, Red Mitchell, on piano and bass, trumpeter Blue Mitchell (no relation), pianist André Previn, baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, trombonist Frank Rehak, and drummer Frank Capp. One of just two dates recorded as a leader by Whitey Mitchell prior to his early retirement from jazz, there are plenty of inspired moments on this date".
All compositions by Red Mitchell, except where indicated.
