Blue Note Record's Magnificent 7: Payton, Wilson, Coltrane, Charlap, Washington, Bernstein and Nash

Blue Note Records is a jazz record label, established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis. Francis Wolff became involved shortly afterwards. It derives its name from the characteristic "blue notes" of jazz and the blues. At the end of the 1950s, and in the early 1960s, Blue Note headquarters were located in New York City, at 43 W 61st Street. The label is currently owned by the EMI Group and in 2006 was expanded to fill the role of an umbrella label group bringing together a wide variety of EMI-owned labels and imprints specializing in the growing market segment of music for adults.
Historically, Blue Note has principally been associated with the "hard bop" style of jazz (mixing bebop with other forms of music including soul, blues, rhythm and blues and gospel). Horace Silver, Jimmy Smith, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Art Blakey, Lou Donaldson, Donald Byrd and Grant Green were among the label's leading artists, but almost all the important musicians in postwar jazz recorded for Blue Note on occasion, albeit most often only once.

That is some VERY backwards thinking my friend. What is wrong with straight ahead playing? I listen to all kinds of progressive jazz , stefon harris, christian mcbride, romain collin, and more (and I'm sure many others watching this do as well), BUT there is and always will be room for straight ahead. Just because jazz is constantly moving forward, it doesn't mean we can't take a look back at the past that shaped the music of today. After all, this IS a tribute to Blue Note

Al Hirt makes Nicholas Payton sound like a grade-schooler.

This abstract jazz just doesn't have enough form for me. Then again I'm from the Maynard Ferguson School of Jazz..:D

@TonyF273 Grant Green's "Idle Moments." You can hear it on YT in fact......

[thelbronius]

Taste...

Seems like people are confusing their personal preferences with other things. Regardless of how much you like or dislike this. You really have to respect each of these guys for how hard they've worked.

I try and listen to stuff that I don't understand, most recently some death metal. I may not "like" it as much but I can appreciate other aspects of the music. Just because I don't understand it doesn't make it bad music.

Anyways...love this.

@JazzVideoGuy well, urbie green? :P lol he's dead long time ago, but I dunno, trombone is also a major jazz instrument, cetranly more than the guitar for ex, well at least I think so. It's just sad that I didn't see one in this band. There're quite a few good trombonists, so i'm suprised not to see one in there.
