Album Notes & Community Reviews
With arrangements by Duke Pearson, trumpeter Blue Mitchell delivered a robust, swinging set of hard bop on 'Boss Horn'. Leading an ensemble that included Julian Priester and Jerry Dodgion, Mitchell showcased his lyrical tone and knack for infectious blues phrasing. The album comfortably navigates between soulful, mid-tempo grooves and sharp, spirited brass interplay.
