LF: Original Cover Art

[Late]

If anyone could point me to a scan of the original cover for Alan Shorter's Tes Esat, I'd be most appreciative. I've scoured the internet, but have only found one jpeg about the size of a flea.

Thanks!

p.s.

Feel free to post any other hard-to-find original covers here too. Gokudo's great, but they're fairly slim on more avant offerings.

Biggest pic I could find :

Laton , I've got loads of seldom-seen cover scans ; if you're looking for something in particular let me know .

I enjoy the themed cover art threads that occasionally pop up around here . One I've thought about starting is one devoted to 10" LP covers that were lost in the transition to the 12" LP . I'd think we have enough cover-hounds knocking about in here to make this a viable thread , yes ?

Sure, sounds like a good thread to me. Gokudo has a page devoted to 10" covers — some of them are beauties. One of my nerdy hobbies is finding original cover art for my iTunes library — which sometimes entails another nerdy hobby: using my limited PhotoShop skills. (Trivia question: what's the etymology of the word "nerd"? That's right — it's thought to derive from Dr. Seuss himself!)

And thanks for the scan! (Was it you that posted that great Bill Barron Savoy cover a while back?)

Yep .

Are there any other rare Savoy covers you'd like to see ?

Yusef Lateef - The Dreamer, Jazz And The Sounds Of Nature, Jazz For Thinkers (or whatever that title is).

Actually, if you could re-post that Barron cover (for Motivation), that'd be great. I can't think of any other covers off the top of my head right now, but, heck, surprising us with a few rares one would be fun!

Here are two Bud covers that I think don't get seen much ...

[Late]

Note to add that I'm not sure if those Powell covers contain the "original" art. Still cool though.

[Late]

OK, did a little research. Here are two Savoy covers I'd be interested in seeing:

• Ed Curran: Elysa

• Marc Levin: The Dragon Suite

[clifford_thornton]

The Curran is a pretty cool one, but as with most of these records, very scarce.

I have the Levin on Savoy but no scanner. The internets didn't yield any image.

Nice scan — thanks Clifford.

Hey, the Curran uses the same typeface as Mosaic. In fact, if you squint your eyes, that could pass as a Mosaic cover: The Complete Ed Curran Savoy Sessions (1 CD).

I'm guessing that was a Bill Dixon produced session? Now I want to hear the music ...

It would be way cool (yes, "way cool") if the Japanese market put out a box set of Dixon's supervised/produced Savoy sessions, along with any relevant unissued stuff. I've heard the Pozar, and I think that's it, unless the Valdo Williams was one of Dixon's.

i've the record of bud powell ( on the right ) . I think it's the original. it's some tapes made by the french friend of bud, francis paudras, at home in paris. on this record we can hear francis playing "drums" with 2 brushes and a newspaper. it's one of the most affecting record of bud.

Shawn , here are the two other Lateef Savoys :

Laton , here is Marc Levin's 1967 Savoy LP The Dragon Suite :

And here is the cover of the BYG issue (gatefold jacket) of The Dragon Suite :

Thanks Chas — great covers. Hmmm, how about the Jack Brokensha or Joseph Scianni on Savoy?

I love that brief period, among all the gospel stuff, where Savoy quietly slipped out those handful of avant-leaning records. Once again, I wish the Japanese market could get to reissuing them, but they're probably too obscure even for that sophisticated market.

I think there's a thread here somewhere on that stuff. Will have to look for it ...

[Late]

Thought I'd bump this thread up to ask if anyone here has a decent scan of the New York Contemporary Five's records on Sonet.

[king ubu]

Ha, I knew I saw them somewhere, here you are:

Those covers are sweet! Any reason why subsequent issues never used them?
