Blue Mitchell





Blue Mitchell.
Mainstream MRL 315

Here's an ace from Blue, ably assisted by some class support. Watch out for the 2 tracks penned by Walter Bishop from Black Jazz fame. Soul Village is a honey, but it's Mi Hermano (My brother) that kills it everytime.

  6. Great Album, and an awesome post. I knew I'd heard that first tune before, but it took me a while to place it. It's "Soul Village." The Blue Mitchell discography gives this info:
    Date: March 1971
    Location: New York City
    Label: Mainstream

    Blue Mitchell (ldr), Jimmy Forrest (ts), Blue Mitchell (t), Walter Bishop, Jr. (p), Larry Gales (b), Doug Sides (d)
    a. a-01 Soul Village - 6:00 (Richard 'Blue' Mitchell)
    Mainstream 45: 5506 — Soul Village/Queen Bey
    b. a-02 Blues For Thelma - 7:00 (Richard 'Blue' Mitchell)
    c. a-03 Queen Bey - 5:00 (Richard 'Blue' Mitchell)
    Mainstream 45: 5506 — Soul Village/Queen Bey
    d. b-01 Are You Real - 7:19 (Benny Golson)
    e. b-02 Mi Hermano - 5:17 (Richard 'Blue' Mitchell)
    All titles on: Mainstream LP 12": MRL 315 — Blue Mitchell (1972)

    Weird though, the track listings on the back cover don't seem to match.

    Thanks, I'm loving this one!

  9. art - thanks for the info. not that unusual for mainstream (I think) that the tracklist on the sleeve doesn't match the order on the record...
