The mid to late 1950s saw debut recordings for Blue Note by ( among others ) Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, Herbie Nichols, Sonny Clark, Kenny Dorham, Kenny Burrell, Jackie McLean, Donald Byrd and Lou Donaldson.
John Coltrane's Blue Train, and Cannonball Adderley's Somethin ' Else ( featuring Miles Davis in one of his last supporting roles ) were guest appearances on the label.
Blue Note was by then recording a mixture of established acts ( Rollins, Adderley ) and artists who in some cases had recorded before, but often produced performances for the label which by far exceeded earlier recordings in quality ( Blue Train is often considered to be the first significant recording by Coltrane as a leader ).
Horace Silver and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers continued to release a series of artistically and commercially successful recordings.
