Everybody loves Jack Davis
Two by Jack Davis. Courtesy of Uncle Gil. Some more his work here. To any kid who grew up in the Sixties with MAD Magazine (and his many paperback, movie poster, advertising and record cover illustrations), Jack Davis’ charactures and illustrations were just a part of life.

Stepping out of the shadows
This is a really beautiful cover. The photo only begins to do it justice. The colors and tones of the actual record sleeve are stunning. Simple and elegant. Fifties.

Art
Portrait of Art Farmer on Contemporary. Although it was not until 1958 (the year this album was recorded) that Art Farmer was voted “New Star” of the year in the Down Beat poll, his reputation had already been established among musicians on the basis of his work with Lionel Hampton, Gigi Gryce, and Gerry Mulligan. With a rhythm section that includes his twin brother, the late Addison Farmer, on bass, as well as pianist Hank Jones and drummer Roy Haynes, he is heard here in three originals (two are blues), and five other appropriate vehicles such as Benny Golson’s “Stablemates.” Farmer felt that this was the best album he had made at that stage in his career.
