His contributions to the genre can be heard in his compositions and performances with various groups including Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers. Sadly, Mitchell passed away on May 21, 1979 in Los Angeles, California.

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.

Blue Mitchell was a member of Horace Silver’s Quintet before he began recording his own leader albums for Blue Note through the 1960s including Bring It Home To Me, a bluesy and soulful hard bop date featuring the trumpeter with Junior Cook, Harold Mabern Jr., Gene Taylor and Billy Higgins.

This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180 gram vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
