Concepts in Blue is an album by jazz trombonist J. J. Johnson, recorded in 1980 for the Pablo Today label and originally released as a CD in 2002.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This is a fun set of straightahead jazz.

The colorful frontline obviously enjoyed playing the blues-oriented repertoire and the solos are consistently rewarding.

Nothing all that innovative occurs but the results are pleasing".
