Editing Blue Note Records (section)

===Lion retires; Wolff dies===
Blue Note was acquired by [[Liberty Records]] in 1965 and Lion, who had difficulties working within a larger organization, retired in 1967.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> Reid Miles' association with the label ended around this time. For a few years most albums were produced by Wolff or pianist [[Duke Pearson]], who had succeeded Ike Quebec in A&R in 1963 after he died, but Wolff died in 1971 and Pearson left in the same year.<ref name="GMJ" />

At the end of the 1960s, the company headquarters were moved to 1776 Broadway.<ref>Original LP liner notes to ''[[Open House (album)|Open House]]''</ref>
