Blue Note is a minor label with little influence on jazz history. Jazz is more than '50s hard bop and "hits" (Sidewinder, Song for Father, etc.).. But if the jazz tradition (Louis, Fatha, Duke, Count, Bird, Diz, Clifford) means anything, Norman Granz (at Verve) is the music's greatest champion followed by Avakian and Teo at Columbia. If you want to hear a recorded piano, you'll hear only a dead-sounding approximation of it on an RVG production.
