Re: [ARSCLIST] jazz record covers
Daniel,
thank you very much for input and link.
Just to reciprocate, I thought somebody would be interested to this site
http://www.matiklarweinart.com dedicated to the work of Abdul Mati Klarwein,
the artist of "Live-Evil" cover among others (Abraxas, etc) which I found
researching the subject.
I have not found anywhere a mention of this, but the background of that
famous cover is in square, or geometric, kufic script (many beautiful
examples at http://www.kufic.info/elements/elements.htm) and it might well
be a kuranic sura, or on the contrary some outrageous text devised by
Klarwein, or just a graphic idea - if I can manage to find a specialist I'd
be curious to know.
FM

The Back O' Town LP was part of an early Riverside 12" reissue series. The
12" series began around 1955 and ran concurrently with the label's first
contemporary jazz series (Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, etc.) sometime.
Anyway, there might be a more useful scan of the LP for your purposes here:

I'm pretty sure the LP in question was released in 1956.
