Wayne Shorter was a highly influential American jazz saxophonist and composer. Born on August 25, 1933 in Newark, New Jersey, USA, he left an indelible mark on the world of music. His innovative approach to improvisation and composition pushed the boundaries of jazz, earning him critical acclaim and numerous accolades throughout his career.
Shorter's contributions to the genre are immeasurable. He played alongside some of the greatest musicians of his time, including Miles Davis and Art Blakey. His unique sound and melodic style captivated audiences around the globe.
Tragically, Wayne Shorter passed away on March 2, 2023 in Los Angeles, USA. Despite his untimely departure from this world, his legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and enduring influence on generations of musicians.

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.
