Artist: MITCHELL, BLUE
Title: The Thing To Do
Label: BLUE NOTE
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: BLP 4178LP
Exact repro reissue of one of the truly legendary Blue Note sessions, originally released in 1964. Featuring Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Junior Cook (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano -- his second recorded appearance and debut for Blue Note), Gene Taylor (bass), and Aloysius Foster (drums). "This Blue Mitchell date is a classic, particularly the opening 'Fungii Mama,' which is really catchy. The trumpeter's quintet of the period (which includes tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, the young pianist Chick Corea, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Al Foster) also performs two Jimmy Heath tunes and a song apiece by Joe Henderson ('Step Lightly') and Corea. The record is prime Blue Note hard bop, containing inventive tunes, meaningful solos, and an enthusiastic but tight feel. Highly recommended." -- All Music Guide

Artist: MITCHELL, BLUE
Title: Bring It Home To Me
Label: HEAVENLY SWEETNESS (FRANCE)
Format: LP
Price: $31.00
Catalog #: HS 035LP
Among 33 albums recorded with American jazz, blues, soul and funk trumpeter Blue Mitchell as a leader, Bring It Home To Me from 1966 is the thirteenth. This is not only an excellent album, but also the artistic peak of Mitchell's discography. The album mixes modal harmonies, lyrical moments and groovy, even funky rhythms. This album is very rare on LP format and very hard to find with a restored analog sound. Blue Mitchell is here joined by Junior Cook on tenor, Harold Mabern on piano, Gene Taylor on bass and the great Billy Higgins on drums. The artistic direction is strong, the aesthetic is powerful. Heavenly Sweetness' reissue and its analog sound is the best tribute that can be given to this great and rare record and its original recording sound. Pressed on finely-selected 180 gram vinyl.
