Go browse through the whole archive here. Blue Note had an amazing cover design aesthetic that remains recognizable and striking today, thanks to talented graphic designer Reid Miles. Not to mention some of the finest jazz ever pressed to wax.
Bonus: 3 great music videos paying tribute to the style of old Blue Note album covers.
Rob Dixon & Triology + 1 - "B Minors"
Helicopter Girl - "Angel City"
Madlib - Slim's Return
