THE FOLLOWING WAS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES OBITUARY FOR ALFRED LION FOUNDER OF BLUE NOTE LABEL - First published February 9, 1987
"Mr. Lion became a record producer ''almost by accident'' after hearing the boogie-woogie pianists Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis at the 1938 ''Spirituals to Swing Concert'' at Carnegie Hall, according to his wife, Ruth.
He was so impressed by the music that he arranged a studio recording session on Jan. 9, 1939, and ordered a few dozen pressings made for his friends. The demand was so great that he made other recordings of such traditional-jazz artists as the saxophonist Sidney Bechet, and the Blue Note label was born. "
THE PINK AND BLACK LABELS WERE THE FIRST AND FOR FRIENDS OF MR. LION!
THE ADDRESS ON THE LABEL WAS THE FIRST OFFICE OF BLUE NOTE

Blue Note Records Catalog: 78 rpm series
BLUE NOTE Early yearsLion was a German who first heard jazz as a young boy in Berlin. He moved to New York in 1937, and in 1939 recorded pianists Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis in a one-day session in a rented studio. The Blue Note label initially consisted of Lion and Max Margulis, a communist writer who funded the project. The label's first releases were traditional "hot" jazz and boogie woogie, and the label's first hit was a performance of "Summertime" by saxophonist Sidney Bechet. Musicians were supplied with alcoholic refreshments, and recorded in the early hours of the morning after their evening's work in clubs and bars had finished. The label soon became known for treating musicians uncommonly well - setting up recording sessions at congenial times, and allowing them to be involved in all aspects of the record's production
