This really needs work. I've removed the statement that "Summertime" has lyrics about lynching (if they are about lynching, they are extremely oblique!). I suspect someone got confused with "Strange Fruit". There are a lot of very contentious statements later on in the article (Grant Green as "ersatz Coltrane"?). --Andrew Norman 13:18, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
((Covers)) The cover photography and graphics that grace the Blue Note catalogue are an important part of the documentation of popular and jazz music history, and an important ingredient in the design esthetic of that period. If someone is up to it, I think that an essay on the subject should be added.Odysseybookshop 19:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- There used to be a section about the covers. There should be one again.
- Could someone clarify what "debut recordings for Blue Note" means? Does it mean the artists' first recordings for Blue Note, even if they'd recorded for other labels before? Or does it mean their first albums ever? or does it mean their first albums as leader? The first alternative seems to be the only one that applies to everyone in the list.

- I added back a covers section. It's a pretty important topic to have on this page. - AKeen 15:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
