Remedy du Jour -- December 3, 2011

Back in the 50s and 60s Blue Note Records was the place to be for jazz recording artists. This label cranked out hit after hit, and had a successful "formula" for creating them. Nowadays of course there is no such thing as a hit jazz single, let alone a hit record. Let's listen to some of those popular tunes today. It's sad. The story I heard was that if it hadn't been for Norah Jones, Blue Note would have gone under.

• Blue Train — John Coltrane
• Song For My Father — Horace Silver
• Maiden Voyage — Herbie Hancock
• Moaning — Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers
