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.

Larry Young was an American jazz organist known for his characteristic sound on the Hammond organ. Born on October 7, 1940 in Newark, New Jersey, he developed a unique style by skillfully managing the stops on the organ to create an ethereal and drifting effect. His music simultaneously served as both lead and background, captivating listeners with its mesmerizing tones.

Tragically, Larry Young passed away at the young age of 37 from untreated pneumonia in NYC. Despite his untimely death on March 30, 1978, his musical legacy lives on.

Artists who share a similar musical style include *Freddie Roach*, *Andrew Hill*, *Grachan Moncur III*, *Jackie McLean*, *Big John Patton*, *Bobby Hutcherson*, *Elvin Jones*, *Pete La Roca*, *Tina Brooks*, *Freddie Hubbard*, *Jack McDuff*, *Sam Rivers*, *Baby Face Willette*,*Stanley Turrentine,*Duke Pearson,*Booker Ervin,*Horace Parlan,*Woody Shaw,*Clifford Jordan,*Joe Henderson*.

On 1964’s Into Somethin’—his first album for Blue Note—Larry Young made it abundantly clear that he had his own unique approach to the Hammond B-3 organ. Rather than the tried-and-true soul jazz sound so strongly identified with the instrument, Young explored more modal territory over the course of his six Blue Note albums including this tremendous session featuring tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers, guitarist Grant Green, and drummer Elvin Jones. The remarkable album cover design by Reid Miles made excellent use of a memorable photograph by Francis Wolff. This Blue Note 80 Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
