The official illustrated history of Blue Note, the most influential
and important brand in jazz. Blue Note is not only known as the
purveyor of extraordinary jazz but is also famous as an arbiter of
cool. The superb photography of co-founder Francis Wolff and the
cover designs of Reid Miles were integral to the label's success
and this highly illustrated publication - featuring the very best
photographs, covers and ephemera from the archives, including
never-before-published material - commemorates Blue Note's
momentous contribution to jazz, to art and design, and to the music
business. Tracing the evolution of jazz from the boogie-woogie and
swing of the 1930s, through bebop, funk and fusion, to the eclectic
mix Blue Note releases today, the book also narrates a complex
social history from the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany to the
developments in music and technology in the late 20th century.
Celebrating over eight decades of extraordinary music, this book
demonstrates how Blue Note has stayed true to its founders'
commitment to 'Uncompromising Expression'.
