Jazz Covers - Reseñas
| "A bricklike compilation of groundbreaking design and photography."— The New York Times Book Review, New York, Estados Unidos |
| «Revivre l’aventure du jazz à travers les couvertures des 33 tours, voilà un pari audacieux et plutôt évocateur de toute une époque. L’occasion aussi de retrouver une esthétique tellement typique, qui se différencie du look glacé des galettes pressées en CD. Rassemblées dans un gigantesque coffret, les deux volumes qui constituent cette anthologie ont en propre de nous inviter au rêve et à la contemplation. L’idée consiste à laisser la place aux images et aux évocations, plutôt que d’alourdie les pages avec des commentaires inutiles et bavards… A feuilleter avec un verre scotch ou en faisant brûler une baguette d’encens. Une brique. Enorme!»— Bruxelles News, Bruxelles, Bélgica |
| "A hugely enjoyable set of books for me on two levels; as a jazz music fan and a designer, so they easily earn my hearty recommendation. I’ll certainly continue to dip into them when looking for something new to listen to and to inspire new work. In fact, if you’re running a little short on creative inspiration lately, I suggest you pick up a copy, take some time out to indulge in the amazing array of cover art (just take a look at some of the examples below) while your favorite jazz record plays in the background, and if your creative juices don’t start flowing, you might want to check your pulse."— Wingsart Blog, London, Reino Unido |
| "Vinyl Addict. Le charme patiné des vieux vinyles... sans la poussière sur la pochette restée trop longtemps au fond du placard. C’est l’idée de TASCHEN qui compile en deux volumes les plus belles pochettes de 33 tours de jazz entre 1940 et 1990... Jazz Covers est une plongée dans l’histoire du jazz par la petite, mais tout aussi révélatrice porte du graphisme et de l’illustration."— Pariscope, Paris, Francia |
| "De vez en cuando aparece en el mundo del jazz un rayo de luz que te hace sonreír. Este es el caso del relanzamiento por parte de la impagable TASCHEN de Jazz Covers, un precioso trabajo gráfico de gran formato relacionado con las portadas de vinilo de los discos de jazz desde 1940, hasta 1990. A través de sus páginas, Jazz Covers presenta espléndidos volúmenes, una amplísima selección de cubiertas de discos de jazz, que recorre visualmente la historia de esta maravillosa música durante medio siglo del diseño gráfico. Joaquim Paulo, el autor de esta maravillosa obra artística... Julius Wiedemannel editor de esta obra con mayúscula. Una obra imprescindible en la biblioteca de cualquier amante del jazz."— Apoloybaco.com, España |
| "In two volumes, TASCHEN’s newly released Jazz Covers features a brilliant selection of classic graphics from the 1940s to the 1990s. The selected material highlights important performers, albums, art directors, photographers, illustrators, and labels that gave the genre a distinct identity. Among those included are Bob Ciano, one of the greatest cover designers ever for the CTI Label, and producer Creed Taylor... Anyone with a love for jazz and a curiosity for design should have this publication in their collection. Buy it now."— Complex.com, New York, Estados Unidos |
| "The 1940s and 1950s were times of innovation in the jazz world, and as much as that meant bebop in the clubs, it also meant striking, innovative sleeves on the vinyl format."— i, London, Reino Unido |
| "It’s also a pleasure to read the liner notes, look at the cover art & graphics, and get easy-to-read recording and personnel information. No page turning or eye strain. And you learn about music from it."— GROOVE2U.net, Portugal |
| "If you’re a fan of jazz music or design in any shape or form it is worth your time to take a look at Jazz Covers, a recent release from TASCHEN. The huge two-volume set contains an immense amount of visual and historical information about a wide variety of jazz album cover art created between the 1940s and the 1990s... The covers span a large spectrum of jazz artists, genres and record labels. All of them have corresponding credits that include artist, title, publication year, record label, designer, and photographer where applicable and available. Additionally some of them have extra excerpts of information about the artist, record label or designer, adding some insight into the creation of the actual cover... The book is laid out well, with each turn of the page bringing something new and unexpected. This allows you to really immerse yourself in the visual culture that surrounded the covers and get a good sense of the era in which they were created. The beginning of each book also contains several interviews with notable producers, art directors and record store owners... Both volumes would make excellent coffee table books... Overall the books are a thorough compendium and an excellent visual resource. They do a great job of providing a complete overview of the many album covers produced during the time and provide a wealth of inspiration for jazz lovers and designers alike."— Designersreviewofbooks.com, Wichita, Kansas, Estados Unidos |
| "Paging through the two volumes and looking at the many album covers pictured brought back faded memories of sitting on the living room floor with my mother as she carefully arranged the records in their colourful covers... A fascinating book that not only revived memories, but has me looking for CD’s by these music legends from the past."— The American, London, Reino Unido |
