		Mitchell had only a modest technique, about which he was unduly selfconscious--he had a great personal sound on his instrument, and is one of the most unmistakeable players of the period.
		Mitchell's limitations are exposed a bit over the course of the album--he is not a widely expressive player, and he often resorts to repeated licks (astonishingly, the banal "Country Gardens" bop quote crops up 3 times in the space of the album's 41 minutes).
		blue mitchell was a great, lost trumpeter of the 60s hardbop movement, falling in the shadow of miles and even his blue note stablemates, lee morgan, donald byrd, and freddie hubbard.

		Blue Mitchell, as a trumpeter and leader, produces jazz that is ultimately infectious, fully flavored with "funk," "soul" and "swing," but devoid of all pretentiousness.
		Blue's first actual jazz recording date came back in 1952 when he was called into a set led by Lou Donaldson, featuring Art Blakey, Percy Heath and Horace Silver.
		Mitchell then returned to popular music, recording soul-jazz albums (1967-69) and touring with Ray Charles (1969-71) and the blues-rock bandleader John Mayall (1971-73).

		On Joni Mitchell's 'Blue', all the stars aligned in 1971, and a masterpiece was given birth.
		'Blue' was released in 1971 as Joni's fifth album, and along with 'For the Roses' represents something of a transition for her, from traditional folk and hippie stylings to shades of jazz and blues, leading to her more commercial work on 'Court and Spark'.
		Mitchell is an innovative and accomplished guitar player and in her day possessed a wonderful litling voice that could carry you through your day-to-day into something unique, gliding effortlessly through octave changes, high to low.

		Blue Mitchell, and Cook have stile all thier own and are full of ideas, making for great solos on every track.This album seems to be unrated by other reviews.
		While perhaps not the equal as an all-around musician of such contemporary Blue Note heavyweights as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and his own former bandleader Horace Silver, Blue Mitchell quietly created one of the label's finer bodies of sessions during the mid-1960s, an era almost universally acknowledged as BN's creative zenith.
		Mitchell and his cohorts - tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, altoist Jerry Dodgion and pianist Cedar Walton - offer consistently strong and serious improvisations over the reliable work of bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Mickey Roker, elevating BOSS HORN from the interchangeable level of many similar sessions - even many good ones.

		Although Blue has similarities with the product of other female singer songwriters like Laura Nyro, Carole King and Judy Collins, it exists in its own bleak universe, a snapshot of one woman's life as her soul makes a journey from chronic unhappiness to personal rebirth.
		Track five, the very Laura Nyro-Carole King sounding jazzy piano ballad "Blue" is rumoured to have been written as a thank you letter to James Taylor for pulling her from her despair.
		It also seems to be a warning to "Blue" not to fall prey to the way their peers are living: "You can make it through these waves/Acid, Booze and Ass/Needles guns and Grass/lots of laughs" Overall its got the bruised feel of a Billie Holiday classic.

		Though she was already beginning to experiment with elements of pop and jazz, BLUE focuses on Mitchell's skill as a folk singer, showcasing her reedy, expressive voice in duet with her piano or guitar.
		Joni Mitchell's third release found her moving away from the wistful folk of her debut and CLOUDS, branching out into the progressive pop and jazz elements that would define her best work.

	Blue Mitchell CD review on AudioRevolution.com
		In addition to Richard "Blue" Mitchell on trumpet, who came to prominence after his 1958 Riverside release, this recording also features Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Roy Brooks.
		Mitchell does not rely solely on the jazz standards written by others, as the next two tracks, "Kinda Vague" and "When I Fall in Love," were written (or co-written) by Mitchell.
		While only two of the tracks on this album were written by Mitchell, the rest being standards available on many, many other jazz albums, this album belongs in every jazz aficionado’s collection.

	BLUE MITCHELL
		Blue Mitchell possessed one of the truly individual trumpet sounds: richly lmelodic but always strong—clearly in the tradition of Clifford Brown, but very much his own voice.
		Trumpeter Blue Mitchell and a stellar group play compositions and arrangements by Benny Golson, a recognized master of the small-band format in his prime, and Jimmy Heath, a Philadelphia contemporary of Golson’s and John Coltrane’s who ended a lengthy recording absence and began his important association with Riverside on this session.
		Blue Mitchell was one such musician, and his conception of the trumpet in a quintet context remains influential to this day.

		Joni Mitchell, much like Frank Zappa and Fairport Convention, belongs in that category of music that I find the hardest to deal with:the music that I listened to before I was interested in music.
		'Blue' is one of those albums that ought to be in everyone's collection because it speaks so universally, both musically and lyrically.

	CD Baby: TOM MITCHELL & THE BLUE RHYTHM BOYS: Monday Morning Blues
		Blending the blues of Mississippi John Hurt with the “hot club” swing of Django Reinhardt, The Blue Rhythm Boys have delighted audiences with their tight vocals and hot guitar playing since 1997.
		The Blue Rhythm Boys are a swing trio that knocks my socks off, with two first-rate guitarists, Tom Mitchell and Jim Stephanson, who carry the "Washington Grows Great Guitarists" torch into the 21st century.
		Their music is decidedly 20th century, however, as they play swing and blues from a bygone era on vintage archtop guitars, but they don't mine it for nostalgia.

	Blue by Joni Mitchell Reviews at Shopping.com
		Mitchell says, "I am on a lonely road and traveling, traveling, traveling...", and I'm hooked, a little, my interest piques.
		Blue is in terms of musical diversity, lyrical content, imagery and vocalization, perhaps the most balanced and unified modern rock composition I have ever heard.
		Given the cultural context, IÂ’m even warm to Mitchell as she says of her old man when absent, Â“the bedÂ’s too big, the frying panÂ’s too wide...Â” Mitchell explores the emotional landscape from a female perspective, not afraid to speak of the weakness of her knees, or to portray men as romantic figures.

		The unmistakable sound of Blue Mitchell and Junior Cook graced Horace Silver’s quintet for six years before they broke off on their own with a band that introduced Chick Corea and Al Foster to the world.
		While the material here, as on any Blue Mitchell date from the mid-sixties, tends largely toward conventional hard bop, the quintet consistently elevates it beyond its own conventions, at the same time offering a fair amount of more progressive material, most of it original.
		the reissue is awesome, blue mitchell is one of the underrated trumpet players of his time, and is one of my favorite trumpet players and this album proves blue mitchell was at the top of his game.
