Blue Mitchell’s run of albums for Blue Note are among the great jazz recordings of the era. His ’70s output have often been overlooked, however ‘Blue Mitchell’ remains a fantastic set featuring the stellar line up of Black Jazz recording artist Walter Bishop Jr. on piano and keys, the legendary Doug Sides on drums, bass extraordinaire Larry Gales and the one and only Jimmy Forrest on tenor sax. This record deserves reappraisal as a fine selection of recordings. Licensed officially from Mainstream and remastered from the original tape transfers, this is the best the record has ever sounded. Featuring new words from Doug Sides especially for this release.
