Blue Note, 1956: »That year also saw the employment of Reid Miles, an artist who worked for Esquire magazine. The cover art produced by Miles, often featuring Francis Wolff's photographs of musicians in the studio, was as influential in the world of graphic design as the music within would be in the world of jazz. A few mid-fifties album covers featured drawings by the then little known Andy Warhol.« [via Wikipedia]

Ebenfalls 1956 erschien das Album "Saxophone Colossus", aufgenommen von Rudy van Gelder, der auch für Blue Note arbeitete. Erschienen ist diese Aufnahme jedoch bei Prestige Records. Wer das prägnante Cover gestaltet hat, weisen die mickrigen Liner Notes nicht aus.
