Wish I knew sooner...they haven't updated their FB page since 2019. I follow it, but it's been bupkis. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100079442233596 -

The only solution I see for your demands is the electronic version which can be arranged by label, year, artist, designer, style etc. i find the “by jazz artist” arrangement just fine, but I see your point. While working on this little project, it’s become clear that the Europeans and American editions of the same titles have different covers and different titles even…just like the albums. Blue Note especially is a perpetual and reliable cash cow for the publishers.

Judge for yourself. I do think it's a correct and encyclopedic way of compiling the artwork by alphabetical names of the artists, whose albums are being represented. The author did quite a bit of research on the designers/graphic artists. I think this book is a keeper. It is a giant folio, as you witnessed in the bookstore.

Weird News Tonight (or Today!!!!!)

Just read this myself. https://news.sky.com/story/poland-highway-to-hel-journey-banned-after-religious-groups-object-to-satanic-666-bus-route-12902584 See if you can spot a further bit of demonic humor (indadvertant, I'm sure) all the way at the end of the article. I did. -

Poland cancels 666 bus route to Hel amid complaints of “spreading satanism”. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/14/poland-hel-bus-666-gdansk-satanism-christians-catholic/ -
Thank you! I ordered the Freedom, Rhythm & Sound, the California Cool, and the Steinweiss folio. The Blue Note and other cover books edited by Graham Marsh appear to be recycled and volumes combined under slightly-different titles. For my part, I really recommend the recently-published Joaquim Paulo, ed. Julius Wiedemann Jazz Covers, Taschen GmbH, 2021. ISBN: 978-3-8365-8525-5 As with some other Taschen titles, including this one and the Steinweiss book, there are smaller and larger format versions. I do recommend springing for the larger one. One other elusive jazz cover book is this one: The Color of Jazz: Album Cover Photographs by Pete Turner. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0847857980/?coliid=I2A913CV21ZB1J&colid=1J6EMQXK3XD10&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp

I'm compiling literature for a school project relating to jazz album covers and need your help organizing a list of books published on this topic. These are the books I have in my small library: Ed. by Graham Marsh, Felix Cromey, Glyn Callingham Blue Note: The Album Cover Art, Chronicle Books, 1991. ISBN: 0-8118-0036-9 Ed. by Graham Marsh, Glyn Callingham New York Hot: East Coast Jazz of the 50s and 60s. The Album Cover Art, Chronicle Books, 1993. ISBN: 0-8118-0416-X Manek Daver Jazz Album Covers: The Rare and the Beautiful, Graphic-sha Publishing Co., Ltd, 1994. Richard Havers Blue Note: Uncompromising Expression , Chronicle Books, 2014. ISBN: 978-1-4521-4144-2 Joaquim Paulo, ed. Julius Wiedemann Jazz Covers, Taschen GmbH, 2021. ISBN: 978-3-8365-8525-5 Irwin Chusid, Chris Reisman SUN RA: Art on Saturn. The Album Cover Art of Sun Ra's Saturn Label, Fantagraphics Books, Inc., 2022. ISBN: 978-1-68396-658-6 I am sure there is more out there, especially printed in foreign lands.

Weird News Tonight (or Today!!!!!)
Dmitry replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Now that we are on to them , I do remember some iffy Time magazine headlines from the imaginary past: Covid may turn into China's plague. 9/11 could become America's Pearl Harbor. Boots Randolph's new hit makes him the saxophone colossus. -

No f...ing way. I had to look it up...it's true. For me, this is more than enough to sack the journalist who wrote it and the editor. -
Impulse label question - cover/vinyl mismatch?
Dmitry replied to Big Beat Steve's topic in Discography
It baffles you because you are a German. Order, common sense and accountability aren’t as widespread in most other places around the world. As to the Impulse! question, yes, like the others, I see the 1970s MCA records in the earlier gatefolds fairly often. It’s kind of a brief nuisance when you think you just scored a nice OP, and then fish out a 120 g. MCA lp. -
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Dmitry replied to Van Basten II's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I was being generous. After all, he continues to play for the best clubs in Europe (for whatever reasons)... City did not own the midfield, like they usually do. Haaland was covered solid, and didn't produce much. Overall, not a great game from MC, but they did lose, in my opinion, the best player in the world after 30 minutes, when De Bruyne pulled his hemi. I was rooting for Inter also. Their defensive game was excellent. Plus, Man City is awash in Sheikh Mansour's dinars. Guardiola is an amazing manager, no doubt. -
CDs for sale (but a narrow sales window)
Dmitry replied to ejp626's topic in Offering and Looking For...
Got mine today. Luck was on the side of those that deserved it! The padded envelope had a big chunk torn out of it, but the cds came out unscaved, and were in the "as described" condition. Thanks, ejp626! -

Dmitry replied to Van Basten II's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
City made history, but not without struggle. If not for the terminally-unlucky Lukaku, things may have been different. In the last 10 minutes Inter made good chances in the box, but luck wasn't on their side, it was all doled out to Ederson, who was City's man of the match. Congrats to the City fans! -
Stereo Jack’s relocating under new ownership

Told you, it is everywhere. The mystique of weed is gone. It's become a crutch of the Generation Z. It concerns me. -

Reuben Wilson, organist who helped usher in soul jazz, has died at 88.

We saw him in August 2019 at the Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, NY. Trio with Paul Bollenback and Carmen Intorre. I liked how he played Misty. -
