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.

Dexter Gordon was a renowned tenor saxophonist during the bebop era. Born on February 27, 1923 in Los Angeles, California, he drew inspiration from influential tenor players of the 1930s and 1940s such as Lester Young, Herschel Evans, and Illinois Jacquet. With his distinctive sound and improvisational skills, Gordon made a significant impact on jazz music.

Throughout his career, Dexter Gordon collaborated with numerous talented musicians including Oliver Nelson, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Kenny Dorham, Jackie McLean, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Stitt, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Joe Henderson, Clifford Brown and many more.

Gordon's legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and contributions to the jazz genre. His unique style continues to inspire aspiring musicians around the world.
