From the album "Funktion Junction", created in 1976 on the RCA label. He died three years after making this album. This has always been one of my favorite songs ever made and deserves to be heard. I had to convert the file because it's hard to find but I think most of the audio retained it's quality. I'm also new to uploading vid's so go easy Hard Chargers.
History on Blue:
Richard Allen (Blue) Mitchell (March 13, 1930 -- May 21, 1979) was an American jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, rock, and funk trumpeter. He was born and grew up in Miami, Florida. Mitchell began playing trumpet in high school where he acquired his nickname. After high school he played in the rhythm and blues ensembles of Paul Williams, Earl Bostic, and Chuck Willis. After returning to Miami he was noticed by Cannonball Adderley, with whom he recorded for Riverside in New York in 1958. He then joined the Horace Silver Quintet playing with tenor Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Roy Brooks. Mitchell stayed with Silver's group until the bands break up in 1964. After the Silver quintet disbanded, Mitchell formed a group employing members from the Silver quintet substituting Silver for the young Chick Corea and replacing a then sick Brooks with Al Foster. This group produced a number of records for Blue Note disbanding in 1969, after which Mitchell joined and toured with Ray Charles till 1971. From 1971 to 1973 Mitchell performed with John Mayall on Jazz Blues Fusion. From the mid -- 70s he recorded, and worked as a session man in the genres noted previously, performed with the big band leaders Louie Bellson, Bill Holman and Bill Berry and was principal soloist for Tony Bennett and Lena Horne. Other band leaders Mitchell recorded with include Lou Donaldson, Grant Green, Philly Joe Jones, Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, Dexter Gordon and Jimmy Smith. Blue Mitchell kept his Hard bop playing going with the Harold Land qiuntet up until his death from cancer on May 21st, 1979 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 49.
