United StatesSmooth and delicious.
Wonderful sound, bewitching performances. Not music to provoke you or even make you think. Just make you feel right through tonal harmony.
Italy e.g Paris, FranceA great mixture
Hard bop with rhythm & blues structures developed in a cultured, refined way that offers a soft texture capable of captivating even the most skilled jazz musicians. The work is also remarkable from a technical point of view. The transfer from tape gives us a magical "Blue" Mitchell trumpet capable of being the protagonist without ever interfering destructively with the other instruments, thanks to a well-kept tonal balance. The detail is exemplary and allows you to enjoy all the tonal nuances of the instruments that stand out in a plastic way in a wide and deep soundstage. The dynamics are also at levels of pure audiophilia. strappoacusticohiend.weebly.com

Nice Album - Blue's Moods
I really love this album. This instruments played in this quartet is excellent. The whole album here is that Mitchell stretches out with refreshing arrangements and his style of work is a big success. The first cut is a very good number with some great trumpet is a classic; very well done. The mustang commercial in 1965 but don't hold me to that. "Scrapple from the apple is a classic parker tune that blue plays to perfection. The album ends with 2 very strong lyrical numbers with vitality "sweet pumkin" and "i wish i knew". All good stuff and worthy of a full 5 stars. Lyrical, bluesy, sweet and energetic blue mitchell's album is a great addition to any jazz collection. Thanks to the sound Engineer – Ray Fowler for Transferring from a 15ips 2-track tape is a Excellent Job
