Into the Blue is an album by Guy Barker, released in late May 1995 by Verve Records.[1][2] It was nominated for the 1995 Mercury Music Prize,[3][4] but lost to Portishead's Dummy.[5]
The Times's Chris Parker wrote that Into the Blue "places Barker firmly where he deserves to be: in the growing ranks of world-class British jazz players."[1]
L'Unità's Filippo Bianchi spoke negatively of the album, saying Barker "lacks the 'philosophy'" and "vocation to invent language" of European jazz greats.[6]
