Part design history, part musical memory lane, this anthology spans half a century of the most daring and dynamic jazz album artwork — from the 1940s to the early 1990s. Each cover is a visual counterpart to the music it holds, its rhythms of frame, line, text and form echoing the energy within. Complete with detailed fact sheets listing performer, art director, photographer, label and more, it is an essential treasure trove for design lovers and music obsessives alike.
