paul secor Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I was looking at the Mosaic Gazette today and there was an article on all time favorite record covers. Some of their choices wouldn't have been mine (although some were). I thought it might be fun to try that here. Your choice can be LP covers, CD covers, 78 album covers, and any genre of music. I'll start things off with ten of my favorites. You can list as many as you want. I'll probably return with more. Here goes - in no particular order: Charles Mingus: Mingus Ah Um (Columbia) Air: Air Time (Nessa) High Atmosphere (Rounder) Don Joseph: One of a Kind (Uptown) Leroy Jenkins: The Legend of Ai Glatson (Black Saint) Etoile de Dakar: Absa Gueye (PAM) Michael Hurley: Land of Lofi (Mississippi) Ornette Coleman: Ornette! (Atlantic) Alexander Spence: Oar (Columbia) The Insect Trust: Hoboken Saturday Night (Atco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I only became a jazz fan in the CD era, so covers haven't been such a big thing. This is a big favorite, though perhaps not the most original choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
