Lou Donaldson is an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and band leader. Born on November 1, 1926 in Badin, North Carolina, United States, he has made significant contributions to the world of jazz music.

Known for his soulful and melodic style of playing the saxophone, Lou Donaldson has captivated audiences with his unique sound. He has collaborated with renowned artists such as *Stanley Turrentine*, *Blue Mitchell*, *Kenny Dorham*, and many others.

With a career spanning several decades, Lou Donaldson has released numerous albums as both a bandleader and a sideman. His compositions showcase his talent for creating memorable melodies that resonate with listeners.

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.
