The Blue Note began its internet activities in early 1995. As the Blue Note transformed the Jazz industry in the 1980's, the Blue Note proved to be a pioneer of jazz on the Internet giving people the ability to see who is performing this week, make reservations and listen to a sound clip. The Blue Note quickly established a strong presence on the internet with its association with InterJazz, the Internet Jazz Plaza. The Blue Note became the host venue for Interjazz's JazzIRC. Through JazzIRC the Blue Note was one of the first companies to take advantage of the interactive opportunities which is presented by the Internet. Anyone with access to the Internet is now able to "chat" with the world famous artists that are performing at the Blue Note New York that week. The tremendous success of Interjazz's JazzIRC led to a consistent live audio and video broadcast schedule in association with AudioNet.
