Blue Note Records, jazz's premier recording label, was launched in 1939 by the legendary Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, who together, for decades, recorded the greatest artists in the genre—Bud Powell, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, and many, many others. Blue Note's unsurpassed catalog features an astonishing array of performances and a core list of "must-have" releases that indelibly marked the history of jazz. Celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Blue Note legacy with an all-star band featuring some of the finest jazz musicians performing today.
