Summary
When asked to visualize what jazz looks like, you might picture bold typography, two tone photography, and minimalist graphic design. If you did, you’re recalling the work of a jazz label that single-handedly defined the “look” of jazz music in the 1950s and 1960s, Blue Note.
I interviewed Michael Cuscuna, a longtime archivist of Blue Note contact sheets, who deconstructed the adventurous and highly creative photographs that became the backdrop to some of jazz’s most iconic album covers.
