Jazz Covers - Reviews
"Voici donc que vient de paraître chez TASCHEN (déjà responsable de l'énôôrme Jazz Life de William Claxton) un monument pour tout amateur de jazz, un somptueux pavé de près de 500 pages en papier glacé, rien qu'avec des pochettes de vinyls de jazz (au format d'un disque 25 cm, avec un épaisseur de 4cm!): plus de 650 couvertures, "les plus mémorables et les plus rares des années 1940 jusqu'au début des années 1990"). (...) Toutes les reproductions sont d'une exceptionnelle qualité. En bref, un travail de maître, particulièrement "léché". Ne reste plus au lecteur qu'à voguer au gré des pages et des couleurs. (...) Plus qu'un ouvrage de référence, ce livre donne vie à une discothèque imaginaire et fabuleuse..."Improjazz, BloisFrance |

"This book is a must-have for all of our readers' coffee tables, libraries or materbatoriums. Not only does it suit the uniform of our square format, but it could basically be the bible for skateboard company art departments such as SF-based Stereo and Western Edition"Color Magazine, TorontoCanada |

"(Jazz Covers) is a bricklike compilation of groundbreaking design and photography, and it's almost as much fun as rummaging through those old bins, only cleaner."New York Times Book Review, New YorkUnited States |

"Comme souvent chez TASCHEN, l'objet, de prime abord, impressionne, intimide presque. Il convient de l'apprivoiser, de s'y retrouver aussi. Des mythiques pochettes du label Blue Note aux explosions graphiques psychédéliques de Tom Scott ou Archie Shepp, de Miles Davis à Quincy Jones, du be-bop au free jazz, ce pavé de quelque cinq cents pages propose un panorama ultracomplet de l'esthétique, souvent définitivement classieuse, parfois très kitsch, des pochettes de jazz du bon vieux temps du vinyle au début des anénes quatre-vingt-dix. Malgré quelques entretiens passionnants avec des sommités du genre (Bob Ciano, Fred Cohen, Rudy Van Gelder, etc.), Jazz Covers souffre peut-être d'un léger manque de perspective, ou, au moins, d'un semblant de thématisation, qui permettrait de capter l'attention du non-initié. Hautement recommandable, en tout état de cause."Rolling Stone, ParisFrance |

"TASCHEN's excellent new book Jazz Covers sets the bar for design and graphics reproduction, and its more than 650 meticulously printed covers from the 1940's through the 1990's puts Old RareNew(Black Dog Publishing) to shame. This book provides stories behind the covers-many iconic-of major and obscure jazz musicians, included in alphabetical order, providing the releases' art director, illustrator, and photographer credits."One to One Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |

Extraordinary Records In the late 1970s, the standard black vinyl disc mutated and developed into a thousand different forms, as picture discs and oddly shaped recordings entered the market. Ranging from blatant commercial gimmicks to limited edition collector's items via weird anomolies and art projects, this is the ultimate selection of Extraordinary Records. |
