SuperBlue
Superblue was an American jazz ensemble that released two albums for Blue Note Records in 1988 and 1989. It was led by trumpeter Don Sickler. The ensemble played in the hard bop style of Blue Note acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
The Los Angeles Times wrote of the ensemble's debut, "[Bobby] Watson's ripe-toned alto on 'Summertime' and [Bill] Pierce's romping tenor on 'Sesame' are just two highlights of this excellent effort that reaffirms the lasting value of mainstream jazz." The Globe and Mail determined that the second album avoids the "out-and-out revivalism with little-big-band charts that remove the tunes to some distance from their funky origins".
