Jazz. Further Visual Influence.

I recently stumbled upon some images which I feel expand on the album covers found earlier.

 

Cliff Roberts visual style for 'the first book of Jazz' is exactly what I had in mind. It looks like an african tribe painting and feels free, the perfect way for me to visualise Jazz. This tells me that to get that authentic feel I will need to try and stay away from the computer and get some hand rendered images which can be taken straight to screen print.
