The cat in the flat

September 26th, 2011 in Illustration, Jazz by lpcoverlover | 1 Comment

“Take it, Bunny!”  Bunny Berigan and his Boys  Epic Records  (1960)  Drawn from mono 78s Berigan cut in the ’30s.  Bunny Berigan’s heavy drinking and fast-paced lifestyle cut his life short in 1942 when he was only 33 years old, and all told, the swing trumpeter’s recorded legacy doesn’t even span a decade.  Still, his incredible range on the instrument and his always beautiful tone have given him a deserved spot as one of the greatest trumpet players in the history of jazz.  Illustrated by the great New Yorker cartoonist William Steig!
