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.

Bud Powell was an American jazz bop composer and pianist. Born on September 27, 1924 in Harlem, New York City, he became a prominent figure in the jazz scene. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 41 on July 31, 1966 due to pneumonia in New York City. Bud Powell was known for his exceptional talent on the piano and his contributions to the development of bebop music.

Throughout his career, Bud Powell collaborated with various artists who shared his passion for jazz. Some of these notable performers include Wynton Kelly, Kenny Dorham, Kenny Drew, Red Garland, and many more. His unique style and virtuosity influenced generations of musicians.

Bud Powell's legacy lives on through his timeless compositions and recordings. He continues to inspire aspiring musicians around the world with his innovative approach to jazz music.
