Blue Soul is an album led by American trumpeter Blue Mitchell recorded and released in 1959 on the Riverside label. [4]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "This is one of the most precious jazz recordings of a year that would soon give sway to the Blue Note sound, and is in many real and important ways as much of a prelude as any other statement. It's a must-have for all serious mainstream jazz fans". [1]
