In jazz and blues, blue notes are notes sung or played at a lower pitch than those of the major scale for expressive purposes. In its many forms and meanings, the distinctive sound and the very concept of "blue note" has become synonymous with the great history and tradition of jazz and blues, implying the essence of the very best of the innovative and creative character that sets this music and its grand masters apart. In the same spirit, Blue Note Pharmaceuticals strives to be a distinctive Company that is innovative and creative in its own right, and that, like the great music its namesake implies, creates a synergy that brings the many and sometimes disparate notes of drug development together in harmony to create distinctive products that make a difference.
