Jazz Covers: Joaquim Paulo ; ed. Julius Wiedeman ; interviews [with] Bob Ciano, Fred Cohen, Michael Cuscuna ... [et al.] (Bibliotheca Universalis)

Great book for the jazz lover who is interested in people involved around the musicians like Creed Taylor, Rudy van Gelder etc. Some really obscure covers from smaller labels and lesser known artists. A definate must and certainly complementary with other books. I own the Coast to Coast, Blue Note and Prestige books and this still adds more depth and content next to the other three. In fact, I would probably start with this and then branch out in the individual labels.

I love these books, Taschen as well as record cover books (I love the records as well though some are very tricky to find even on Amazon etc). Got many of the similar books but this is one of my favourites with some truly cool covers (wish I had been there in the 40s and 50s)

Bought as a gift for a jazz nut, I'm sure he'll love it

Great book for any jazz vinyl junkie with excellent photos of album covers

Excellent journey through the jazz cover - as original as the music.

My dad was chuffed to bits with this!

I'm a lover of jazz and the cover art, particularly the iconic Prestige and Blue Note covers. I received this as a birthday present and I've not been able to put it down since I got it. The blurbs under the selected covers have been great to read and it's a nice touch having them in multiple languages. I've even discovered a new artist I've fallen in love with thanks to the book, so I'm eternally grateful. This is highly recommended for anyone interested in jazz, design or music in general.

The cover album , four freshman & five trombones lures you in. Regrettably it is downhill all the way from then on in. The author obviously likes jazz fusion and funk. Therein lies the problem!!!!!

malgré les très bonnes impression et reliure, ses 650 pages, son prix très modique, cet ouvrage ne présente pas grand intérêt à part qqs albums qui bénéficient d’une chronique succincte, ne sont mentionnés dans ce pavé ni castings, ni titres seulement (encore heureux…) dates d’enregistrements et noms des labels (pas seulement Blue Note comme mentionné plus bas) on peut toutefois découvrir des albums surprenants ou des artistes méconnus et tenter de les trouver sur des sites de streaming

Super gut. Wie beschrieben. Jederzeit gerne wieder

Para os amantes do vinil, esta publicação é importante. Ver e rever capas de discos que você tem e analisar a ideia da concepção destas capas. Muito interessante. recomendo.

fedeli alla richiesta mi è stato spedito Gianni Bondesan

I sent this to a good friend who is a jazz aficionado. The said it reminded him of how he and a buddy of his would troll through the local used record stores like Rasputin searching for albums in the jazz section. He has quite a collection at home now but most are packed away because he uses electronic media now instead of a turntable. Anyway he was AMAZED and DELIGHTED with the book. He told me that he was paging through it with his wife, and saying - yes, i have that one,. that one, that one,... etc. ALSO he and i commented on the quality of the design on many of those album covers. really inspired. Some of the greats like the late Milton Glaser were among the designers so it's pretty sophisticated and wonderfully nostalgic now. A GREAT FIND!!!!
