	Blue Note Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blue Note Records is a jazz record label, established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff.
		Blue Note was by then recording a mixture of established acts (Rollins, Adderley) and artists who in some cases had recorded before, but often produced performances for the label which by far exceeded earlier recordings in quality (Blue Train is generally considered to be the first significant recording by Coltrane as a leader).
		Blue Note was acquired by Liberty Records in 1965 and Lion retired in 1967.

	Blue note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In jazz and blues, blue notes are notes sung or played at a lower pitch than those of the major scale for expressive purposes.
		The blue notes correspond approximately to the flatted third, flatted fifth, and flatted seventh scale degrees, although they approximate non-equal tempered pitches found in African work songs; specifically, the flatted seventh may often be a justly tuned minor seventh.
		Blue notes are the most important notes in the blues scale.

		What was remarkable about Blue Note is that from the dawn of the LP era through the mid-1960's, Blue Note released approximately 350 albums of consistently high quality, both musically and sonically, including some of the landmark albums of modern jazz.
		Among "serious" Blue Note collectors, there are two sorts of records which are in highest demand - monos and "deep grooves." The former is self-explanatory; the latter are records in which there is a concentric groove in the label, about two-thirds of the way from the center hole.
		The labels are blue, with a stylized white lower case "b" containing a blue note logo in the upper right hand corner.
