Blue Mode is the third album by American organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1969 and released by the Blue Note label the following year.[2] The album was also released by Vee-Jay Records as Organ Talk in 1974.[3] [4]
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "If Love Bug skirted the edges of free jazz and black power, Blue Mode embraces soul-jazz and Memphis funk in no uncertain terms... they know how to work a groove, and that's what makes Blue Mode a winner".[5]
