A lot of the albums on that list were pretty standard but it was cool to get a glimpse into the actual cover designers and the processes they used.

There's a timeline of albums on the Blue Note website. It's pretty well organized from what I can tell so far; I just found it. http://www.bluenote.com/timeline

I have a few copies of the original photos before they became the album sleeves as a kind gift from Michael Cuscuna.
Especially happy-making is that Herbie Hancock is holding a copy of Playboy on the cover of Inventions & Dimensions. You see it on the original pic.

Believe Reid Miles created the house style and did the now iconic and much imitated typographic executions.

Inspirational work, much like that of Muller-Brockmann and Saul Bass to name a few.

Good to look through that Guardian article again.

For anyone who likes album cover art let me give a plug to Mark Wade, an artist local to me in Windsor, he paints 3D representations of album covers framed for wall mounting. He was inspired by Graham Marsh’s Blue Note Album covers book, but he’ll do almost any album requested and most commissions are of pop album covers. We had Lee Morgan’s ‘Sidewinder’ and it’s a very nice thing to have up on the wall. He only does one painting of an album and the prices of the originals have gone up since we bought ours, but the prints are more affordable. He’s also a very nice guy who likes his jazz and Ivy clobber.
