All That Jazz | Freedom, Rhythm & Sound

What do trumpets, astrology, tigers and pyramids have in common? They are all choice images from this collection of jazz album art, compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker and sourced from Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and other greats. There’s also biographical information on the musicians and relevant historical accounts, with particular attention paid to the civil rights movement.
