But it wasn’t until recently that I started learning this history on my own. On occasion, I would ask a couple friends who work as graphic designers to comment on my favorite covers and provide some historical context. In the years since, I have often peered at the covers of my favorite albums, wondering how these works fit into the larger puzzle of 20th century graphic design. As I browsed record store shelves and websites like Birka Jazz, it soon became clear that other classic jazz labels had a lot to offer in the way of album art as well. Flipping through the pages of Blue Note Album Cover Art: The Ultimate Collection, I was captivated by the fresh Modern design, expressive photographs, and geometric typography of Blue Note’s legendary covers. In fact, my foray into jazz record collecting began not with a record but with a book. As a fan of classic jazz, it was easy for me to fall in love with the art on the album covers.
