Label Bleu is a French jazz record label founded by Michel Orier.
Orier established the label in the mid-1980s in Amiens and soon after took over directorship of Amiens's cultural center, where he was able to build a recording studio. Label Bleu has concentrated on releasing jazz; in 1991, a sublabel imprint, Indigo, was founded to release world music titles.1
