great past performers as well as new releases on all three labels will serve as
an invaluable educational tool to Naxos Music Library subscribers.
It is with great
pleasure that we announce the Blue Note Records catalog is now available for
Naxos Music Library - Jazz subscribers!
Blue Note has such a wonderful history of musical excellence and we hope
you'll enjoy the journey through their catalog as much as we will!

director Francis Wolff in 1939, is a renowned jazz label that has produced a
number of legendary albums including John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and
other classic albums from iconic artists such as Herbie
Hancock, Jackie McLean, Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter and many

Throughout the

continues to discover and launch impressive talents to a new level.
