"The Cover Art of Blue Note Records" is the classic collection by Graham Marsh and Glyn Callingham featuring the unique album covers produced by the renowned Blue Note label. Around January 1956, photographer Francis Wolff and Alfred Lion of Blue Note Records met Reid Miles, a commercial artist and devoted classical music enthusiast. After establishing a relationship, Reid Miles became the designer for Blue Note for the next eleven years, creating wonderful graphic covers that were both unique and maintained Blue Note's indistinct appearance.
The work includes iconic covers for artists such as Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Art Blakey, making this anthology an evocative piece of jazz history.
Along with over 400 of the label's best covers, a selection of short essays written by leading industry figures is included. Both as an analytical guide to a recognized record label and as a significant moment in the history of graphic design, "The Cover Art of Blue Note Records" is an essential work for all jazz enthusiasts.
