After high school he played in the rhythm and blues ensembles of Paul Williams, Earl Bostic, and Chuck Willis. After returning to Miami he was noticed by Cannonball Adderley, with whom he recorded for Riverside Records in New York in 1958.

Heaven sends A song through its doors そのドアを通って
Just as if it seems to kno まるで知っているみたいです。
I'm exclusively yo 私はあなたのものでは専ら
Knowing this これを知ること
I feel but one way 私は感じるが、1 つの方法
You will understand too あまりにもわかるだろう
In these words that I say 私と言うこれらの言葉に
I'll close my eyes 私の目を閉じるよ
To everyone but you 誰もが、あなたに
And when I do そして私は
I'll see you standing there 私はそこに立っているあなたを。
I'll lock my heart 私の心をロックします
To any other caress 他の愛撫に
I'll never say yes 私はそうを言うことはないです。
To a new love affair 新しい恋愛に
Then I'll close my eyes その後、私の目を閉じるよ
To everything that's gay すべての同性愛者であることを
If you are not there あなたがない場合
Oh, to share each lovely day ああ、素敵な毎日を共有するには
And through the years 年間を通じて
In those moments これらの瞬間
When we're far apart 遠く離れているとき
Don't you know I'll close my eyes 知らないの私の目を閉じるよ
And I'll see you with my heart 私の心で会いましょうと

Blue has such a beautiful tone. The tone is a musician's calling card..
MykeysTay
One of the most fabulous tunes ever ! ✅🏴🕺
reythmband
So beautiful the way Blue runs the changes on this tune! And his warm, soulful tone.... just sublime!
JazzStephane (Gregory Kimble)
What a Lovely nice & relaxed feel while swinging so hard. His sound and tone is just pretty and big without overblowing. I too have missed out on this wonderful Trumpet player. Thank God for all of the wonderful recordings the Jazz greats left for us to enjoy and marvel at.
Joan Andreano Weyland
This version is in the same league as Miles' cover of Monk's Round Midnight. It's simply hypnotic, mesmerizing and circular.
james roach
Such a hard working trumpet player - This is one of, for me , one of the most beautifully-constructed sustained choruses. I think every jazz student should spend a lot of time listening to the work of a real, and somewhat under-appreciated Giant!
Hey Blue - I know you are swingin' Man up there in the hereafter. Thanks so much for what you left behind for all of us to learn from and enjoy.
niss harley
Couldn't agree more.

I've been listening to this nonstop for some days, i think i know why is it so beautiful to me, it feels like closure, like a full circle, like everything you tried and failed and won is coming back to wash you over with that all those emotions. When all is said and done, if there is ever a definite ending to what we understand as earth, this should play.
james roach
The last time I made a comment about Blue's Playing was 2 years ago. I listen to him often. Decided to dig this tune before going to bed right now. Sounds better than ever. What a guy - I need to lie down - emotional, tasteful stuff. Wherever you are Blue, thanks a lot for everything! :-)

I’m transcribing this for a college audition. Had to take it under tempo a little bit but this solo is 🔥🔥🔥
