Blue is an album by Terje Rypdal and the Chasers, recorded in 1986 and released on the ECM label. Rypdal's Chasers Trio features rhythm section Bjørn Kjellemyr and Audun Kleive.[1]
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.[2]
