This week’s roundup of new apps includes a celebration of Blue Note, one of the greatest labels in jazz—and music—history. But if that’s too heady for you, we’ve also got Sharknado.

The diamond anniversary of a legendary jazz label is celebrated in the Blue Note 75 iPad app. Immerse yourself in the history of the music: If you have a Spotify, Rdio, or Deezer subscription, the app ties into those accounts to give you album-length dips into the history being described.

In addition to timelines, artist catalogues, and more, the app also includes an interactive magazine featuring news and other information about jazz today.
