Aaron Parks: Little Big III
by Chris May
After debuting with a clutch of albums on Keynote around the start of the millennium, and then spending five years with Terence Blanchard, Aaron Parks emerged as a fully-fledged bandleader with his album Invisible Cinema on Blue Note in 2008. On it, Parks fronted a quartet completed by guitarist Mike Moreno, bassist Matt Penman and drummer ...
Wayne Shorter: Celebration Volume 1
by Mike Jurkovic
Wayne Shorter never rested on his or anyone's laurels. So when at the start of this perilous century he convened his great, late-stage quartet with pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade it wasn't to take the bandstand and placate audience and skeptics with greatest hits or refurbished takes on old standards. It was to create ...
Designing Jazz: The Iconic Album Covers of Reid Miles
by Kristine England
Blue Note Records has embodied the best jazz has to offer for over 80 years. With a catalog of greats, from Horace Silver, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon and countless others from the bop and post-bop eras, to the funky recordings that hip-hop artists have repeatedly sampled, ...
Wayne Shorter: Celebration Volume 1
by Chris May
In 2000, three years short of entering his eighth decade on this planet--a place of origin which at times seemed questionable, though he made less fuss about it than Sun Ra--Wayne Shorter finally did what he had resisted doing throughout his career. He formed his own band, not just for an album project but as an ...
Mosaic Records Releases Classic Bobby Hutcherson Blue Note Sessions 1963 – 1970 Limited Edition Box Set
Long-time Mosaic fans will know of our connection—professional and emotionally—to Blue Note Records. Our very first collection, just over 40 years ago, featured the complete Thelonious Monk Blue Note library, and it would be followed by retrospectives of many other Blue Note artists throughout our history. We view every opportunity to revisit that seminal label, lovingly ...
Linda Sikhakhane: Iladi
by Mike Jurkovic
The music of South African saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane does not so much originate from a particular point in time or space or history as much as it expands and accelerates forth from the sub-Sahara's heady mists. Billowing, charging. Seething, soothing. So ease back and let Iladi (a Zulu wisdom ritual) happen. Let the moves of diaspora move ...
Rollin' With Leo
by Richard J Salvucci
Leo Parker may not be a name that instantly springs to mind in the world of late 1940s bebop. There was one point, in 1948, however, when serious people, like Barry Ulanov, regarded Parker as the best baritone saxophonist around--in company with Charlie Parker and Fats Navarro. That is fancy company, so it is worth asking ...
Linda Sikhakhane: Iladi
by Chris May
It is beyond coincidence that the two most uplifting albums released by male saxophonists so far in 2024 were made by players who use their music, in part, to celebrate female wisdom. The albums are Linda Sikhakhane's Iladi and Oded Tzur's My Prophet (ECM). New York-based Tzur's My Prophet, like its immediate predecessor, ...
Nduduzo Makhathini: uNomkhubulwane
by Mike Jurkovic
Abundantly, beatifically, and beautifully ebullient, uNomkhubulwane, Nduduzo Makhathini's eleventh overall effort but third masterwork for Blue Note (his 2020 Blue Note first, Modes of Communication: Letters From the Underworlds and 2022's In the Spirit of Ntu still shimmer and transcend) is, as is the South African pianist's quickly evolving tradition, radiant and revelatory. Emerging ...

Welcome to Eric Gale's official page,
I would like to take this opportunity to address an important issue. Unfortunately, there are individuals who are hijacking the original, Eric Gale name, Wikipedia page and net worth sites, posting false information about him, and fraudulently using his platform to promote their own "artistry." Please be advised that this is the only official site where you can find accurate and true information about New York's finest, Eric Gale.
Born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York to an American mother and British father, Eric Gale grew up in a time when interracial marriages were not widely accepted. Despite this, Eric's father always ensured his safety. He had two younger brothers, who were a decade younger than him. Eric's childhood included holidays spent visiting family in the UK, giving him a unique perspective on the world. Fluent in Spanish, German, and French, Eric had a diverse linguistic background.
