"Blue Note is the greatest jazz label of them all, hence the numerous publications over the past twenty years. The thing, however, that distinguishes Francis Wolff's photos from the images of two other great photographers -- Herman Leonard and William Claxton -- is that Wolff was always present in the Van Gelder studio when all these classic albums were being rehearsed and recorded . He truly captured the gestalt and essence of what makes Blue Note great ." - KCRW RHYTHM PLANET BLOG
