Blue Note Records is probably the coolest jazz label in the music industry since their establishment in 1939. There are three names that should be mentioned in the record companies’ success . Label’s house photographer Francis Wolff (1908 - 1971) , Reid Miles and the record engineer Rudy Van Gelder. Reid Miles did those classic covers and Blue Notes becomes an icon in the jazz world. I think Factory Records reached the same success in rock music with its own style&sounds...
I choose my 10 favorite Blue Note records...
1 - Lee Morgan - Sidewinder
2 - Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin’
3- Hank Mobley - Workout
4- Dexter Gordon - Go!
5- Mccoy Tyner-The Real Mccoy
6- Joe Henderson- Mode For Joe
7 -Thelonious Monk -Genius of Modern Music: Volume 1
8 - Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
9- Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
10 - Herbie Hancock - Takin’ Off
Blue Note Records is the best for be-bop and hard bop lovers...But What about Freddie Hubbard? Not ready for Freddie?
