Blue Note in da place


No need to introduce this great label, maybe the most productive in this last 70 years. I did not listen to the whole catalog but I will recommand the 51 to 67 period which corresponds to the so called "Hard Bop" golden age.


Here are two tracks from what I consider as the 2 best album released on the label:

First one by trumpetist Lee Morgan feat Joe Henderson (ts), Barry Harris (p), Billy Higgins (d), Bob Cranshaw (b).
The Sidewinder was released in 1963.
Second one is the 4th album on Blue Note by M. Herbie Hancock featuring Freddie Hubbard (t), George Coleman (ts), Ron Carter (b) Anthony Williams (d).
That very one was released in 64.
