Horace Silver was an American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader. He was born on September 2, 1928, in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA and passed away on June 18, 2014 (at the age of 85) in New Rochelle, New York. Silver was a pioneer of the hard bop style of jazz during the 1950s and 1960s. He began his career by backing Stan Getz in Hartford before moving to New York City. Silver made his recording debut for Blue Note in 1952 and later formed a cooperative with Art Blakey. In the late '70s, he founded his own label called Silveto Records. Despite health problems in the '90s and being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007, Silver continued to make music until his final studio recording for Verve in 1998.

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.
