Blue Note 1595. Somethin' Else - 1959 US mono press. So happy to have found this deep groove version of one of Blue Note top 5 key album. Playing the French tune Autumn Leaves after a hard day and closing eyes is the most relaxing experience ever. ————————————————— To go further : The cover is also a work of art by Reid Miles, Blue Note Cover designer and art director, and I share with you a great comment found on London Jazz Collector : « The first encounter is the cover. The choice of purely typographic design was probably due to contractual conditions of Miles Davis and Hank Jones appearance, courtesy of other labels, no photos on the cover, but it is more than just a list of names. Inspired use of colour to group the supporting artists together and leader separately on top. Sandwiching the artists, white text links the title and catalogue number top and bottom, . Reid contains the 8 to 10 characters of each name within a single rectangle by giving the twice as long name Cannonball Adderley two lines, Cannonball condensed, Adderley spaced. The diminishing length of first names and lengthening last names creates a dynamic diagonal line across the list, made possible by placing Art Blakey at the bottom. The giant four-character ELSE maintains the integrity of the rectangular shape. As always with Reid Miles, deceptively simple but intelligent and elegant design solutions, a work of art. » #bluenote #bluenoterecords #milesdavis #jazz #jazzvinyl #jazzvinylcollector #jazzmusic #autumnleaves #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #1959 #cannonballadderley
