Blue

ECM Records 1346 831 516-1 12" 33rpm LP 1987 (Germany)

Blue is an album by guitarist Terje Rypdal and The Chasers, bassist Bjørn Kjellemyr and drummer Audun Kleive, recorded in 1985 and released on the ECM label.

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "One of the primary attributes of Blue is its sequencing; the entire recording seems to unfold endlessly and seamlessly. Nothing is rushed, and all parts and players contribute economically. The band establishes a textural point of view to improvise from in every selection, and doesn't seem to be hindered by the guitar-bass-drums limitation. Each track appears to reveal itself as a sound world, full of possibility and limitless space, giving the band a chance to offer itself to these compositions rather than just play them".
