Whether or not you're a fan of Norah Jones or not, be sure to check out the 1997 film documentary Blue Note. It tells the story of the label and its founder, Alfred Lion. The convergence of the fabulous musicians with Rudy van Gelder (engineer), Reid Miles (graphic artist) and Francis Wolff (photographer) created one of the 20th century's greatest bodies of work. The film is a stirring tribute to their joint efforts. A must see if you love jazz.
BTW, Stan Ricker gives a lucid explanation of how a vinyl record is cut by a recording lathe.
