Red, White and Blues

Red, White and Blues is an album by trumpeter Red Rodney which was recorded in 1978 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "the frontline is in fine form. It is surprising that the quintet mostly performs newer originals ... However, the music (which includes such colorful titles as "No Jive Line" and "Ode to a Potato Plant") is largely straight-ahead. An underrated set".
