Blue Mitchell made his name as a member of Horace Silver's quintet, where his lyrical playing and beautiful timbre perfectly complemented Silver's simplified, soulful brand of bop. When Silver disbanded his group the members stayed together under Mitchell's leadership; Silver and Brooks were replaced by Chick Corea and Al Foster, whose places were later taken by Harold Mabern and Billy Higgins. A very good and very funky record by Blue Mitchell.
Should probably rather be called Function Junktion. Yeah, it's your typical 2nd-half-of-the-70s-jazz-fusion-gone-wrong-album. But it's not that horrible. Ok, "I Am in Heaven" begins as a quite culture-negating Biergarten singalong, and the crew even manages to deny the magic of "Delilah". And the two Mitchell compositions come off as pretty questionable, too... um, what was it I wanted to mention positively? Uh yes, "Daydream" has a relatively nice carefree feel, but on (m)any other Blue Mitchell albums you'd notice its cheese. Well, we can be sure that this will not be reissued, which at least enhaces the formal value of this record. ©
