Blue Mitchell’s self titled 1971 album on Bob Shad’s Mainstream Records—often referred to as Soul Village—sees a reissue on Newland Records, a 180g package remastered by man in-demand Kevin Gray and pressed at the Pallas in Germany. The album features a tight core unit, comprised of Blue on trumpet, Walter Bishop Jr. on keys, Jimmy Forrest on tenor, Larry Gales on bass and Doug Sides on drums. The date was recorded in one take, telling of the quality of the musicians at Mitchell’s disposal, a short-lived quintet that lasted less than a year brought together after Blue’s move to Los...
