Variations in Blue is an album by saxophonist Bill Barron which was recorded in 1983 and first released on the Muse label.

[1][2][3] In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow stated "Bill Barron, who spent much of his life as a music educator, played inventive solos that sounded both spontaneous and well thought-out.

Barron, who was underrated throughout his career, cut three records for Muse during 1978–1987, of which this set was the second".
