Blue Note
Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note derived its name from the 'blue notes' of blues and jazz music. Early catalogue releases were more traditional small-group jazz, but around the late 40s the label began to embrace the sounds of modern jazz.
Often associated with hard bop musicians, Blue Note has been home to the likes of Horace Silver, Grant Green, Wayne Shorter and Art Blakey. The iconic album covers during Blue Note's heyday were created by photographer and designer Reid Miles.

Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue
23rd Sep 2026
Bobby Hutcherson’s first released album as leader places the young vibraphonist alongside Freddie Hubbard, Sam Rivers, Andrew Hill, Richard Davis and Joe Chambers. Moving between hard bop and the avant-garde, Dialogue combines angular rhythms, shadowed blues and collective improvisation in a remarkably assured statement from Blue Note’s exploratory mid-1960s period.

Branford Marsalis Quartet - Dedicated to You
18th Sep 2026
Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves revisit the standards from John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman without attempting to recreate it. Reeves brings rhythmic freedom and poise, while Marsalis’s quartet balances spacious vocal arrangements with tougher instrumental pieces. Polished but never merely reverential, Dedicated to You honours Coltrane by allowing his music to support a distinct new partnership.
