David Stone Martin and the Art of Jazz

In the world of record collecting there is one jazz artist collected the world over who has never played an instrument, not even one note of music but has left his mark on the jazz culture. Illustrator David Stone Martin was one of the most prolific and influential graphic designers from the postwar era. Martin designed several hundred album covers, primarily those of jazz musicians including artist such as Stan Getz, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington to name but a few. Martins signature hand sketched graphics along with two or three primary colors, perfectly captured the energy and spontaneity of the jazz idiom. Martin produced covers for jazz record labels of the 1940's thru 1960's such as Asch Records, Dial Records, Disc Records, Mercury / Clef Records (verve), and Jazz at the Philharmonic

Vinyl Record Care and Maintenance

Protect Your Valuable Vinyl Phonograph Records

www.foxmusiccompany.comVinyl Record Care and Maintenance
Cleanliness is absolutely mandatory if the optimum sound capability of the vinyl record is to be realized. A clean record will not only sound better, but last longer. It has long been proven that repeated playing of dirty phonograph records can cause permanent damage to the vinyl. Preservation of your valuable or irreplaceable records requires careful cleaning. Not to mention that stylus wear is greatly accelerated by playing dirty records, and with high price of cartridges these days, playing dirty records can lead to significant and unneeded expense.

    visual jazz....I sure do miss the artwork element of buying records because that was as an integral part of buying a new LP as a kid, listening to the music whilst reading the notes or lyrics of the album sleeve. Thanks for a great and informative lens
  • Steve Wohl Dec 1, 2010 @ 12:32 pm | delete
    In 1962, when I was a student at the Institute of Design in Chicago, I assembled a large show of album art which included many of DSM's great covers. Many were my own lps, but many came from the record companies that sent me the press proof sheets which I mounted. He consistently captured the essence of each musician and the music with his unique vision, abet highly influenced by Ben Shahn. Thanks for assembling this homage to his work.

Lenny Bruce the Charlie Parker of Comedy
When once asked to describe jazz, trumpet legend Miles Davis sarcastically but saliently replied, "You can sweat it down to four words: Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker." Now trying to apply that same old-school, new-school trailblazer to comedy is somewhat more a problem.
