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.

Joseph Salvatore Lovano, known as Joe Lovano, was born on December 29, 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up in a musical household, his father Tony, a barber by day and a talented tenor player by night, along with his brothers Nick and Joe and their uncle Carl, ensured that Jazz and the saxophone were ingrained in Joe's life from an early age.

Lovano is a highly respected jazz artist who has made significant contributions to the genre. His unique style draws inspiration from various influences such as Chris Potter, Joe Henderson, Jerry Bergonzi, Kenny Garrett, Joshua Redman Quartet and many others.

With an extensive discography spanning over several decades and collaborations with renowned musicians like Charles Lloyd, Christian McBride and Branford Marsalis among others; Lovano's virtuosity on the saxophone continues to captivate audiences worldwide. He is truly a master of his craft.
