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.
Sonny Rollins recorded for the label in 1956 and 1957 and Bud Powell briefly returned.
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.
