Tom 1960 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Being a huge Blue Mitchell fan, I especially enjoy his Riverside recordings. A couple releases I don't own presently are 'A Sure Thing' and 'Blues On My Mind'. Can you guys offer specific comentary on these releases since I already own his other Riverside recordings? Thanks as always. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Blues on My Mind is a compilation of his Riverside albums. You'd better get the individual Riversides. Quote

J.A.W. Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) A Sure Thing is an album with recordings in larger settings, ranging from a quintet to a nonet. It's been a while since I last listened to it, but it's quite good. Edited October 14, 2007 by J.A.W. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 I agree with Hans about A Sure Thing. It wasn't a sure thing that I'd like it - "Orchestra" makes me think "strings" but I'm glad I got it. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 I like it, too, though not as much as I like his other Riverside albums. But, if you've got all the others, this is nicely different in sound and accent. MG Quote
Peter Friedman Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Buy "A Sure Thing". You will be glad to have it. Quote
paul secor Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 I've listened to A Sure Thing fairly recently and recommend it. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Posted October 14, 2007 I kind of figured this would garner favorable opinions. Thanks again fellas. Quote
Big Al Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Count me as another fan of A SURE THING. Mitchell seemed to flourish in these kind of settings! Edited October 15, 2007 by Big Al Quote
Free For All Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Everyone needs more BM. A sure thing. Quote
BruceH Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Blues on My Mind is a compilation of his Riverside albums. You'd better get the individual Riversides. It has the same front cover (essentially) as the original Riverside album Blue Soul---don't be fooled! Quote
