I remember seeing the above record cover reproduced in another of my jazz album cover books. I love the mood it suggests, or creates.
Now, it may not be the hippest way to build a collection, but these ‘eight classic album’ type compilations at least put acquiring some of this great music within viable reach. Blue Hour is one of the eight on this set.
I think I’d like to create a couple of collections: one of as much of the music itself as I can get hold of; the other of framed prints of my favourite Blue Note album covers. The latter to be liberally put up around our home, and in the music room/office (and art studio?).
