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.

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and producer. Born on September 15, 1928 in Tampa, Florida, USA, he had a rambunctious attitude towards life but was incredibly prolific as a musician. With hundreds of releases to his name, Adderley worked with various jazz groups and recorded his own compositions with different ensembles.

Adderley's talent extended beyond himself; he was the brother of jazz cornet/trumpet player Nat Adderley and the uncle of jazz keyboardist Nat Adderley Jr. His influence can be heard in the music of similar artists such as Dexter Gordon, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet, Oliver Nelson, Hank Mobley, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Stitt,
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers,
Joe Henderson,
Sonny Clark,
Clifford Brown,
Horace Silver,
Lee Morgan,
Jackie McLean,
Lee Konitz,
Bud Powell,
Art Pepper,
Lou Donaldson,and Benny Golson.

Experience the genius of Cannonball Adderley through his vast body of work that showcases his unparalleled talent and contributions to the world of jazz.

“Is that what you wanted, Alfred?” we hear in Miles Davis’ unmistakable rasp at the end of “One for Daddy-O,” making it clear that the legendary (and assertive) trumpeter was not just playing the role of sideman on Somethin’ Else, the sole Blue Note album by Cannonball Adderley. The alto saxophonist was a member of Davis’ band at the time and the depth of their musical camaraderie lifts this session up to rarefied heights throughout, from the breath-taking performance of “Autumn Leaves” that opens the album to the thrilling call-and-response theme of the title track. Pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey round out the quintet on this timeless classic. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
