Blue Mitchell- Sumer Soft (Impluse!)

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

i payed 4.99 for it: should of given them 29.99. this lp does not dissapoint. unlike funktion junktion with the questionable arrangments/tune selections, summer soft just BRINGS IT. not only do you have harold land but also herman riley on sax too and even cedars on it. its a funky blue mitchell supreme. was this his last album?

I love this one, too. Prefer it to "African violet", the one before.

I think it was Blue's last recording as a leader - though neither of the Impulse LPs has a recording date on it, so it's hard to be certain. "Mapenzi" and "Last dance/Stablemates" were done in April 1977. The two Impulses are said to have been done in 1977, as well, I assume later in the year. Blue's last recording, as far as I know, was Louie Bellson's "Jam with Blue Mitchell" on Pablo 2310-838 (OJCCD802) recorded in September 1978. You'd like that one Chewy - Pete Christlieb & Ross Tompkins are the other main participants.

i cannot stress how good this record is. it was exactly what i was looking for. its even better than the "blue's blues" i just got which cost 4 times as much
