With over 400 of the best covers in the record label's history, The Cover Art of Blue Note Records is an essential collection for every jazz fan.

Graham Marsh is an art director, illustrator and writer of many groundbreaking books including The Cover Art of Blue Note Records Volumes 1 and 2, East Coasting and California Cool all published by Collins & Brown.


Glyn Callingham is a walking encyclopedia on jazz of the 50s and 60s and runs the legendary Ray's Jazz Shop in London. He is the co-author of the books above and contributes to several jazz magazines.

This new edition, published in February 2011, gathers the entirety of the two original volumes published nearly two decades ago; every cover, essay, and photo is included. Record art for such iconic musicians as Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Art Blakey make this anthology an evocative piece of jazz history.
