On the surface, Blue Seventies is packaged as a Blue Note funk
compilation, but the selected music is closer to what would become
"smooth jazz" in the '80s and '90s. These tracks were recorded by
the Blue Note label at a time when it intentionally embraced the
synthesizer, R&B, and disco hybrids tailor-made for pop radio
exposure. While the majority of this material was recorded between
1975 and 1977, it does contain two excellent soul jazz blowouts
from Lonnie Smith and Grant Green, both from 1970, and totally
unlike everything else represented here. Most would agree that the
'70s would not symbolize the epitome of what is known as the Blue
Note sound. --AMG
