Discografía De BLUE NOTE Records Colección Particular De Juan Claudio Cifuentes CifuJazz Discografía de BLUE NOTE Records Colección particular de Juan Claudio Cifuentes Introducción Sin duda uno de los sellos verdaderamente históricos del jazz, Blue Note nació en 1939 de la mano de Alfred Lion y Max Margulis. El primero era un alemán que se había aficionado al jazz en su país y que, una vez establecido en Nueva York en el 37, no tardaría mucho en empezar a grabar a músicos de boogie woogie como Meade Lux Lewis y Albert Ammons. Su socio, Margulis, era un escritor de ideología comunista. Los primeros testimonios del sello van en la dirección del jazz tradicional, por entonces a las puertas de un inesperado revival en plena era del swing. Una sentida versión de Sidney Bechet del clásico Summertime fue el primer gran éxito de la nueva compañía. Blue Note solía organizar sus sesiones de grabación de madrugada, una vez terminados los bolos nocturnos de los músicos, y pronto se hizo popular por su respeto y buen trato a los artistas, que a menudo podían involucrarse en tareas de producción. Otro emigrante aleman, el fotógrafo Francis Wolff, llegaría para unirse al proyecto de su amigo Lion, creando un tandem particulamente memorable. Sus imágenes, unidas al personal diseño del artista gráfico Reid Miles, constituyeron la base de las extraordinarias portadas de Blue Note, verdadera seña de identidad estética de la compañía en las décadas siguientes mil veces imitada. Después de la Guerra, Blue Note iniciaría un giro en su producción musical hacia los nuevos sonidos del bebop. En el 47 uno de los jóvenes representantes del nuevo estilo, el pianista Thelonious Monk, grabó sus primeras sesiones Blue Note, que fue también la primera compañía del batería Art Blakey. A partir de ese momento, el sello se convertiría en adalid de los nuevos valores del jazz que, como Miles Davis, J.J.Johnson, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins o Fats Navarro, registraron para él sesiones memorables en la frontera o inicios de los 50. La pieza final del gran puzzle de Blue Note la puso Rudy Van Gelder, un ingeniero visionario e innovador que literalmente creó un nuevo sonido, característico e inconfundible, que siempre permanecerá asociado a la identidad de la compañía, el conocido como Blue Note Sound. Durante toda la década de los 50 y buena parte de la siguiente, Blue Note documentó una parte muy importante del jazz del momento, y fundamentalmente del conocido com hard bop, el estilo duro y enraizado de la costa este. Su catálogo creció exponencialmente con aportaciones de jóvenes talentos como Hank Mobley, Jackie McLean, Donald Byrd, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Clark, Herbie Nichols, Lee Morgan, Jimmy Smith o Lou Donaldson. John Coltrane sólo grabaría un disco como líder para Blue Note, pero se convertiría en todo un éxito histórico: Blue Train. Algo similar sucedería con Somethin' Else, de Cannonball Adderley, con la presencia invitada de un viejo conocido de sello, Miles Davis. Los inicios de los 60 siguieron deparando éxitos para la compañía: Dexter Gordon inició entonces su clásica serie de grabaciones para Blue Note, y muy pronto la vena innovadora -atenta a los crecientes cambios del jazz en ese momento- de jóvenes como Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Andrew Hill, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson o Joe Henderson mantuvieron al sello en la cresta de la ola. Tampoco Blue Note miró para otro lado con la irrupción del free jazz, y sus estudios albergaron momentos muy significativos de éste en los 60, con grabaciones históricas de Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Sam Rivers o Gracham Moncur III. Pero a mediados de la década, con el jazz retrocediendo día a día en popularidad ante el empuje del rock, el soul o el funk, Blue Note afrontó serios problemas. En 1965 la compañía fue vendida a Liberty Records, y dos años después Alfred Lion se jubiló, más o menos al mismo tiempo que Reid Miles. George Butler asumió las riendas y Blue Note dió un pequeño giro hacia producciones en una onda más comercial. La época dorada del sello había concluído. La reactivación comenzó en 1979, cuando el giagnte EMI compró United Artists, la compañía que poseía Liberty. EMI accedió entonces a todo el extraordinario catálogo de Blue Note, que comenzó a reexplotar. Tanto veteranos del sello como McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson o Freddie Hubbard como nuevos valores del jazz en los 80 como Joe Lovano, Greg Osby o John Scofield comenzaron a grabar ahora bajo la dirección de Bruce Lundvall, y Blue Note volvió de nuevo a la primera línea. Michael Cuscuna ha supervisado buena parte de las reediciones del catálogo clásico, que no ha dejado de venderse muy bien. En 2006 se creó el Blue Note Labe Group, un conglomerado que agrupa a distintos pequeños sellos. Y en enero de 2012 Don Was tomó el relevo de Lundvall. A día de hoy Blue Note continúa siendo un sello de referencia, aunando su formidable legado con nuevas producciones de artistas jóvenes con proyección de futuro.

In fact, the two styles have many parallels. Both were created by African- Americans in the southern United States in the latter part of the 19th century and spread from there in the early decades of the 20th century; both contain the sad sounding “blue note,” which is the bending of a particular note a quar- ter or half tone; and both feature syncopation and improvisation.

The quintet that plays Kenny Drew's music here had never worked as a unit before the recording but the tremendous cohesion and spirit far outdistances many of today's permanent groups in the same genre. Of course, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes have been section mates in Cannonball Adderley's quintet since 1959 and this explains their hand-in- glove performance. With Drew, they combine to form a rhythm trio of unwavering beat and great strength. The two hornmen are on an inspired level throughout. Hank Mobley has developed into one of our most individual and compelling tenor saxophonists. His sound, big and virile, seems to assert his new confidence with every note. Mobley has crystallized his own style, mixing continuity of ideas, a fine sense of time and passion into a totality that grabs the listener and holds him from the opening phrase. Freddie Hubbard is a youngster but his accomplished playing makes it impossible to judge him solely from the standpoint of newcomer. This is not to say that he is not going to grow even further as a musician but that he has already reached a level of performance that takes some cats five more years to reach.

  • Album Covers Through Jazz
    SantiagoAlbum LaRochelle Covers Through Jazz Album covers are an essential part to music as nowadays almost any project or single alike will be accompanied by album artwork or some form of artistic direction. This is the reality we live with in today’s digital age but in the age of vinyl this artwork held even more power as the consumer would not only own a physical copy of the music but a 12’’ x 12’’ print of the artwork as well. In the 40’s vinyl was sold in brown paper sleeves with the artists’ name printed in black type. The implementation of artwork on these vinyl encasings coincided with years of progress to be made in the genre as a whole, creating a marriage between the two mediums that is visible in the fact that many of the most acclaimed jazz albums are considered to have the greatest album covers visually as well. One is not responsible for the other but rather, they each amplify and highlight each other, both aspects playing a role in the artistic, musical, and historical success of the album. From Capitol Records’ first artistic director, Alex Steinweiss, and his predecessor S. Neil Fujita, to all artists to be recruited by Blue Note Records’ founder, Alfred Lion, these artists laid the groundwork for the role art plays in music today. Time Out Sadamitsu "S.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
