When I think of Blue Mitchel, I think of Horace Silver; that might be the only Blue Mitchel, I have, but it's boss. What you submitted sure sounds good, him and Junior Cook have been blowing together for so long they can read one another's musical mind. Blue Mitchell - trumpet Junior Cook - tenor saxophone Chick Corea - piano Gene Taylor - bass Al Foster - drums That's another album I'll have to put on my order list. |
Something a bit newer (a 2006 release) and from Italy...so yeah, Italian Jazz (hope that don’t make anyone’s head explode; or maybe I do). A trio that does hold my interest. Sonics on this recording are very good. Love the "equal time" (i.e., prominence) given to the bass player. Track 2 from Meltemi by Alboran Trio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkcQWPdVQno Review in All About Jazz https://www.allaboutjazz.com/meltemi-alboran-trio-act-music-review-by-chris-may.php @rok2id - John Mayall’s "Jazz Blues Fusion" might be of interest to you (in the unlikely event you don’t already know it) if only because of Blue Mitchell’s participation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW_5_RcPubY |
My Blue Michell (as a leader) picks.... 'Out of the Blue', from 1959. with Golson and Kelly https://youtu.be/cPilE8TeGu4 'Blue's moods' from 1960. https://youtu.be/6026xPnrl7I Believe it or not, but the Italians 'dig' jazz and have great scene,together with some established artists. Maybe a new topic? |
