Blue Mitchell’s run of albums for Blue Note in the 1960s are considered some of the great jazz recordings of the era, however his early ‘70s output following his departure from the label are often overlooked. Blue Mitchell is a fantastic jazz soul set featuring a stellar line up of Black Jazz recording artist Walter Bishop Jr., Doug Sides, Larry Gales and the legendary Jimmy Forrest. Licensed officially from Mainstream and remastered from the original tapes, this is the best the record has ever sounded. Featuring original words from Doug Sides especially for this release.
