More great Blue Mitchell for Blue Note, and another album that has him paired with the funky genius of Monk Higgins! Higgins lays down some tight short soulful backing, and Blue solos over the top in a way that's super-funky, with a hard-wailing sound that he never seems to reach in his straighter albums for Blue Note. The whole thing's a great jam, and includes many tasty cuts, like "Deeper In Black", "Jo Ju Ja", "Blue On Black", "Monkin Around", and "Keep Your Soul".
Great Album
