Blue Note Jazz Club Turns 30

Blue Note Jazz Club Turns 30
蓝调之音俱乐部30周岁
When Danny Bensusan opened the Blue Note Jazz Club in 1981, he never dreamed that it would someday become a New York City institution. Over the years, the club has drawn some of the biggest names in jazz, as well as talented newcomers.
1981年Danny Bensusan创立蓝调之音俱乐部时,他万万没有想到这个俱乐部有一天会成为纽约的最杰出爵士乐品牌.创立30年来,该俱乐部捧红了无数爵士乐大腕,同时也培养了许多颇具天赋的爵士新人.
According to Bensusan, great jazz in a small setting has been the key to its success. Loyalty was also a factor, because audiences knew that the club brought out the best in every performer. He says, “Once they played the Blue Note they always wanted to come back, because there is an intimacy here between the audience and the musician that is appealing to everyone.”
The Oscar Peterson Trio earned three Grammy Awards for albums recorded at the Blue Note in 1990. The club was also the setting for landmark discs by Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie and Arturo Sandoval, as well as
90-year-old pianist Dave Brubeck, who recently returned to perform three shows during the first-ever Blue Note Jazz Festival.
