Blue Note

Black-and-white photographs oozing with cool immortalize the performances and offstage lives of more than 100 famed jazz musicians who forged Blue Note Recordsâ€™ legendary reputation. ï»¿Blue Note Recordsâ€”cofounded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Francis Wolffâ€”is dedicated to recording the greatest musicians in jazz history. Wolffâ€™s photographs taken from 1948â€“69 catch the stars in action: performing onstage, in recording sessions, or cutting stylish silhouettes around town. This curated selection includes jazz greats Louis Armstrong, Art Blakey, Ornette Coleman, Chick Corea, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, and many more. Each photograph is identified by subject, session or album being cut, and date; and the featured artists are indexed for easy reference. The intimate and candid photographsâ€”often used to illustrate the labelâ€™s iconic album coversâ€”recount the labelâ€™s dazzling seventy-five-year saga.
