Reviews from: THE NEW YORKER PULSE! During the post-Swing record boom of the forties and fifties, young illustrators with a love of jazz, pop, and classical music invented the ultimate dream job: designing album covers for the likes of Xavier Cugat, Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiians, and the Andre Kostelanetz orchestra. This arresting guide includes the best work of such designers as Alex Steinweiss, who was the first to put art on both 78s and LPs; the frenetic, Rivera-inspired Jim Flora; and Erik Nitsche, who brought cool Swiss design to record jackets before the onslaught of rock and roll. by David Greenberger Any look at a 20-year period of record covers will be subject to the taste of your guide. In the Groove: Vintage Record Graphics, 1940-1960 is blessed with an excellent shepherd--Eric Kohler is both knowledgeable about the era, and he exhibits uniformly excellent taste. The book features hundreds of covers, all in color. One chapter covers the '40s and three of its leading designers; another chapter handles the '50s and five of its pivotal practitioners (it was a growing field). From Jim Flora's humorous inventions to David Stone Martin's moody evocations of jazz, this book is filled with images that have become part of our culture's visual language. Erik Nitsche's work in the classical-music to look like. Compare his riveting work to classical-music field likewise set the tone for what we understand orchestral music to look like. Compare his riveting work to classical music's other art direction trend of simply obtaining the rights to a famous painting and plopping it in a border into the middle of the cover. This book should be in the hands of every music fan and every record-label art department. While we shouldn't try to relive the past, it's essential to remember its important lessons and inventions., Reviews from: THE NEW YORKER PULSE!
