Happy 70th Birthday, Blue Note Records
Today
Blue Note Records celebrates its 70th birthday. The label was born on
January 6, 1939 when a young jazz fan named Alfred Lion recorded two of his
favorite boogie-woogie pianists at a New York studio. That first session
(Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis - The First Day) proved to be the
start of an illustrious history that continues to this day.
Over the
course of its seven decades in business, Blue Note has recorded virtually every
major figure in modern jazz, from pioneers like Thelonious Monk and
John Coltrane to contemporary masters like Wynton Marsalis and
Joe Lovano.
On January 13, Blue Note Records will
commemorate the label's 70th anniversary with the release of Mosaic: A
Celebration of Blue Note Records; an eight-song collection of classic Blue Note
repertoire re-envisioned by The Blue Note 7, an all-star septet
comprising pianist, musical director, and current Blue Note recording artist
Bill Charlap with trumpeter Nicholas Payton, tenor saxophonist
Ravi Coltrane, alto saxophonist/flutist Steve Wilson, guitarist
Peter Bernstein, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis
Nash.
