Blue Note Records has aimed to uphold that distinction over the nearly 70 years since its first recording session. Founded as a small independent label, Blue Note has gone onto become the premiere Jazz label in the world, and also the longest running.
In 2009, Blue Note Records will celebrate both the 70th anniversary of the label's founding, and the 25th anniversary of its re-launch, and the party begins at the Portland Jazz Festival.
