The Color of Jazz

the long version

"Award-winning photographer Pete Turner performs magic with color, and his photography has graced some of the best and most important album covers of the last half century. The Color of Jazz is a comprehensive look at the design collaboration between Turner and jazz producer Creed Taylor, whose album covers revolutionized album cover art and created an entirely new level of jazz record collecting. Rare and out-of-print album covers are showcased here as art. These covers are chronologically grouped by release date, while the accompanying text offers behind-the-scene observations from Turner and Taylor. A combination of jazz history and art, The Color of Jazz is sure to appeal to jazz lovers and photography enthusiasts the world over."--Jacket.
