I look forward to many recording projects with Don and Blue Note.”
“Over a career that spans decades, Van Morrison has developed a body of work that is unparalleled in its consistent excellence,” added Don Was. “He is one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians of all time. We are incredibly honored that he has chosen to record for the Blue Note label and look forward to many fruitful years together.”
