Blue Note Records - S01E20
Notas do episódio
Blue Note Records is the label synonymous with the best in jazz since 1939, and from its unique mystique around its sound and up and down history, we’ll learn how Blue Note is still relevant to jazz and non-jazz fans today. We’ll talk with veteran Blue Note man Michael Cuscuna about the label’s humble beginnings in a New York apartment, the rise of the so-called Blue Note sound in the 1950s, how commercial success ironically led to Blue Note’s undoing in the 1960s, and explore how the photography of Blue Note co-founder Francis Wolff shaped the Blue Note mystique.
