Blue Note

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.

Milt Jackson (1923-1999) was an influential American jazz vibraphonist, pianist, composer, and bandleader. He collaborated with a wide range of artists including <en>John Coltrane</en>, <en>Thelonious Monk</en>, <en>Dizzy Gillespie</en>, and many others. Jackson also led his own bands throughout his career.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Jackson began playing the vibraphone at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent. His unique style combined elements of swing, bebop, and blues, making him one of the most versatile musicians of his time.
In addition to his collaborations with other artists, Jackson recorded numerous albums as a leader. Some of his notable works include "Bags' Groove," "Plenty Plenty Soul," and "Soul Meeting." His virtuosic playing and innovative compositions continue to inspire generations of jazz musicians.

Vibraphonist Milt Jackson was a frequent presence on Blue Note sessions in the bebop era. As part of the fabled 1500 Series begun in 1956, the label issued the 12” compilation Milt Jackson and The Thelonious Monk Quintet which expanded Jackson’s 10” LP Wizard of the Vibes with tracks from 1948 and 1951 dates led by Monk. The album cover was the first designed by Reid Miles.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analogue, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
