Mudfoot is the debut album by the all-star jazz group The Leaders released on the Black Hawk label in 1986.

The album features performances by Lester Bowie, Chico Freeman, Arthur Blythe, Cecil McBee, Kirk Lightsey and Don Moye.

Two songs are group compositions (including the ad-lib 'Midnite Train'); Freeman provided a tribute to Eric Dolphy ('Freedom Swing Song'); and the other selections include originals by Blythe and McBee, plus Sam Cooke's 'Cupid' (which has a Freeman vocal).

[3] Robert Christgau wrote: "Opening with a glorious and playful 13-minute blues and closing with a sweet and crooked 'Cupid'... this all-star blowing unit gets arty in between and also gets away with it...

"[4] Mike Joyce of The Washington Post commented: "All-star sessions are a commonplace in jazz... every so often an album such as Mudfoot... comes along and makes the idea seem vital and exciting again...
