1500 series

Blue Note made the change to 12″ LPs late in 1955. The Modern Jazz Series continued with the following 12″ LPs. Most of these were issued in both monaural versions (BLP series) and artificial stereo versions (BST 81000 series). Beginning in 1956 with BLP 1509, Reid Miles designed most of the Blue Note LP covers. Together with Alfred Lion’s production, Rudy van Gelder’s engineering, and Frank Wolff’s photography, Miles’ designs defined the Blue Note look and sound. The Blue Note 4000 series began in the mid-1950s with many of the same artists. The 1500 series has been systematically reissued by Toshiba in Japan (“Blue Note Works 1500” series, 20-bit 88.2 kHz CDs); the catalog numbers are TOCJ-1501, etc. In addition, originally unissued material from these late 50s dates was made available on Toshiba’s 1600 series (20-bit 88.2 kHz CDs).

4000 Series

The Modern Jazz Series continued into the 1970s with the LPs listed below. Many were issued in both monaural versions (BLP series) and stereo versions (BST 84000 series). Beginning with 4258 (recorded March 14, 1961) all subsequent LPs (with three exceptions: 4263, 4264, and 4265) were issued only in stereo. By the late 60s Blue Note was changing: the label was sold to Liberty Records in 1965; Reid Miles and Alfred Lion retired by mid-1967; Frank Wolff died in 1971. But much of the best jazz of the early and mid-60s can be heard on Blue Note recordings. Most of the first 300 numbers of the 4000 series have been reissued by Toshiba in Japan (“Blue Note Works 4000” series); the catalog numbers are TOCJ-4###

5000 Series

The Blue Note Modern Jazz Series began in late 1951 with the following 10″ monaural LPs. Some of these LPs were later reissued as part of the Blue Note 1500 Series of 12″ LPs. At first, recordings were made in various studios in New York (Reeves Sound Studio, WOR Studios, Apex Studios, Audio Video Studios). Beginning in October 1953, however, most Blue Note sessions took place in Rudy Van Gelder’s home studio in Hackensack, New Jersey. (Van Gelder moved the studio to Englewood Cliffs in early July 1959.) The sessions were produced by Alfred Lion and engineered by Van Gelder, and many LP covers featured photographs by Lion’s childhood friend Francis Wolff.
