Blue Soul (Blue Mitchell album)

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

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".
