Blue Mode


Blue Mode is the third album by American organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1969 and released by the Blue Note label the following year. The album was also released by Vee-Jay Records as Organ Talk in 1974.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "If Love Bug skirted the edges of free jazz and black power, Blue Mode embraces soul-jazz and Memphis funk in no uncertain terms... they know how to work a groove, and that's what makes Blue Mode a winner".
