Jazz Magazine(s) cover scans

[neveronfriday]

I stumbled across this by accident when looking for some quick info on William P. Gottlieb for a news item on my site.

Link to the index: J a z z - P a s s i o n

This is a French site (just click on the blue links if confused ) - check out the scans (they're not earth-shaking, but a nice find all the same). Here are three of the many I like ...:

Count Basie:

Sonny Rollins:

Monk:

Cheers!

Very cool covers! Seems like there were an awful lot of jazz publications back in the day. For those who were cognisant of the jazz world back then, were most of these of a quality standard? How did they differentiate themselves from the others?

I visited Paris a few years ago and bought several copies of "Jazz Hot" and a few others from a street venfor for a buck or two each. I not sure why, other than to look at the photographs and old ads for new releases and jazz clubs (I can't read French!)

I like Mingus with a gun.

You think he's sending a message to Art Blakey?
