Art Blakey – A Night at Birdland

Blue Note hired gifted designers,

but co-owner Francis Wolff’s subtle photographs

of musicians on and off the bandstand

also forged the label’s instantly recognisable style.

This 1954 set by drummer Art Blakey

introduces the urgent gospelly “hard bop” sound,

which became a Blue Note speciality.
