Alle har ett eller flere LP-covere som skiller seg ut som klassiske, vakre eller minneverdige. Dette må være et av de mest kjente av dem alle :

Bare vakkert? Eller generelt om cover som kunst?

Her er litt om en av mine favorittillustratører noensinne - en mann med uhorvelig mange
albumcovere fra jazzens storhetstid på samvittigheten!
[h=1]The genius
of David Stone Martin[/h] DAVID STONE MARTIN made more than two hundred album covers during the 1950s for the Norman Granz labels, Clef, Norgran and Verve.
You can read more about the labels on the next page, and see many of the labels photography-based covers. The main part of Stone Martin's covers on this page are made for the Norman Granz labels, but we are also showing some of his early covers for other labels.
David Stone Martin is a true classic, a pioneer and the style force of the record album design. He is the most collected of all album designers and the initials DSM has beeen a household word among collectors over the world.
David Stone Martin was born in Chicago 1913. He graduated from the art school in 1935 and came to New York in the early 1940s. Always interested in jazz, he hade a close friendship with pianist Mary Lou Williams and when she recorded for the Asch label in 1944, she persuaded the owner, Moses Asch (later the founder of Folkways Records), to let Martin design the album cover. It was his very first record album. It is shown next top to the right.
During the 1940s he continued to work for Asch and also for the company´s other labels, Disc and Stinson. But it was working with Norman Granz and his various impresario ventures, that he made his reputation.
David Stone Martin´s first commission for Granz was to design a logo for the "Jazz At The Philharmonic" concerts and tour. He created the famous Trumpeter logo, which Norman Granz featured on all his concert programs and record labels. It continues to be used today on reissues and is still perhaps the best recogniezed logo in jazz.
In the 1940s, Norman Granz's recordings were pressed and distributed by Mercury Records. These records have the trumpeter logo on the label, that distinguished them from Mercury´s own recordings.
The Mercury albums were soon, or even simultaneous, issued also on the Clef label itself - with the same cover. Most of them were designed by David Stone Martin.
David Stone Martin was at his best in the fifties. He was an illustrator with a rare gift for portraiture. He used a simple ink line technique and his drawings are delicate and often tinted in sympathetic pastels. They always reflect a subtle jazz atmosphere.
Martin also made covers for labels as Decca, Capitol and RCA. In the 70's and 80's he designed covers for Pablo, In-
terplay, Progressive and others. He died in 1993.
David Stone Martin in
the 1950s
Martin hadde en egen evne til å få streken til å vise og forsterke hva platene handlet om,
enten det var artisten(e), sjangeren, settingen eller nær sagt hva som helst.
De som kan sin jazzhistorie vil se hva jeg mener her;
A few more... for good measure!
David Stone Martin
Han jobbet med noen av de største i jazzhistorien, streken hans var enkel men raffinert,
farger og uttrykk tidstypisk OG i herlig careless contrast til de strikte fotocovere til f.eks.
Blue Note.
HIPGNOSIS var en gruppe grafiske designere / fotografer som lagde en rekke legendariske covere. Jeg har et par bøker med de fleste coverene deres , hvor de også beskriver mye av prosessen rundt hvert bilde. Man skal også huske på at dette var før den digitale tidsalder , så dette krevde avansert mørkeromsarbeid , veldig mye forarbeid på settet rundt hver photoshoot osv. Rett og slett imponerende. Et google søk gir et lite innblikk i hva de drev med.
