Blue Note Records: The Biography

A history of Blue Note Records, from its 1939 founding by German immigrants Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff through decades as the defining label of jazz's golden age, home to Sidney Bechet, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Sonny Rollins, Horace Silver, Kenny Burrell, and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, up through its later releases including Norah Jones's "Come Away with Me." Focuses less on boardroom history than on how the label's mystique took shape and endured, tracing the wider arc of jazz and popular music alongside it. By British jazz writer Richard Cook, co-author of "The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD."
