Miles high

December 4th, 2012 in Blue Note, Jazz by lpcoverlover | 5 Comments

“A Caddy for Daddy”  Hank Mobley  A classic, timeless, quintessential mid-sixties cover from the oft-quoted Blue Note graphic designer Reid Miles.   Here’s something as beautiful on the inside as on the outside.  Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Bob Crenshaw and Billy Higgins at the top of their form.  Artists of the highest order creating in a world of their own.  Turn someone on today.  Here’s the swinging, rumprolling title cut:  A Caddy For Daddy

    If you had told me the title of this album without first showing me the photo on the cover, I would’ve assumed that “Daddy” was a golf enthusiast.

    That Mobley cover is quite cool. Never seen it before. Great site, have to explore it further. Check out my high-end jazz vinyl collecting blog here: http://www.1139indearoldstockholm.com

    Cheers!
