Jazz Covers Book by TASCHEN

We have a very special gift, perfect for the holidays. For a sustaining donation of $20 per month, or a one-time donation of $240, you'll receive a limited copy of the book Jazz Covers, published by TASCHEN [Tawsh in].

This collection of jazz covers presents the designs that defined jazz, from the 1940s to the early 1990s. Each cover reproduction, spanning photographic and illustrative works, is a marriage of music and design. It is a history of jazz, with background information included for each cover.

Each chosen cover design is distinct in the way it complements the energy of the album’s music with its own visual rhythms of frame, line, text, and form. Each record cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing performer and album name, art director, photographer, illustrator, year, label, and more.

The hard cover book is 6 x 8.5 inches, with 512 pages.
