New Bluenote website on the way

Visitors to Blue Note’s Web site will be in for a surprise in late August. The label is in the process of revamping the site to become a social network and digital music store for fans of jazz and blues-the staples of the Blue Note catalog-rather than a simple promotional Web site for its artists.
