Joe Henderson was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, known for his incredible talent and contribution to the world of music. Born on April 24, 1937 in Lima, Ohio, USA, he began his musical journey at a young age. With his unique style and soulful sound, Joe captivated audiences worldwide. Sadly, he passed away on June 30, 2001 in San Francisco, California at the age of 64. As an older brother of Leon Henderson, Joe's legacy continues to inspire and influence generations of musicians.
Throughout his career, Joe Henderson made a significant impact on the jazz scene with his mastery of the tenor saxophone. His improvisational skills and ability to express deep emotions through music set him apart as a true artist. From his early days in Lima to performing on renowned stages around the world, Joe's passion for jazz resonated with listeners everywhere.
Although there are other artists with similar names such as American R&B/gospel vocalist Joe Henderson and British pianist Joe "Mr Piano" Henderson, it is important to note that this biography specifically refers to the legendary American jazz tenor saxophonist.

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.
