Wax Love presents a reissue of Blue Mitchell's Blue Soul, originally released in 1959. Blue Soul is Mitchell's third release as a leader and sees the brilliant trumpeter joined by an all-star lineup that includes Wynton Kelly on piano, Philly Joe Jones on drums, Sam Jones on bass, Curtis Fuller on trombone, and Jimmy Heath on tenor sax. A great piece of forgotten late '50s hard-bop, Blue Soul is truly a treasure of an album finally resurrected by Wax Love.

Among 33 albums recorded with American jazz, blues, soul and funk trumpeter Blue Mitchell as a leader, Bring It Home To Me from 1966 is the thirteenth. This is not only an excellent album, but also the artistic peak of Mitchell's discography. The album mixes modal harmonies, lyrical moments and groovy, even funky rhythms. This album is very rare on LP format and very hard to find with a restored analog sound. Blue Mitchell is here joined by Junior Cook on tenor, Harold Mabern on piano, Gene Taylor on bass and the great Billy Higgins on drums. The artistic direction is strong, the aesthetic is powerful. Heavenly Sweetness' reissue and its analog sound is the best tribute that can be given to this great and rare record and its original recording sound. Pressed on finely-selected 180 gram vinyl.
