My favourite album art designer is Jim Flora http://www.midcenturia.com/2010/12/jim-floras-motley-crew.html
Roger Dean, of course, created beautiful surreal landscapes for Yes.
Then there's the famous King Crimson debut album (don't know the artist)

Ah, it was that band! Fair comment, then. I don't watch videos on my computer. I only post links to YT myself because that's what everyone else does. But I've listened to 'Shadows and light' more times than I care to remember; I bought it when it was first released. Fine album.Sy Borg wrote: ↑September 19th, 2022, 8:11 pmThese are not just jazzers, these are band leaders and award winners. Jaco on bass was perhaps the best ever. Pet Metheny on guitar is a genius, with no overstatement. Michael Brecker is a saxophone legend. Don Alias on drums had played with Miles Davis, Elvin Jones and Nina Simone. It's testimony to Joni's chops, respect, ability to lead and her bank balance to front such an elite band, and have them playing brilliantly.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑September 19th, 2022, 12:36 pmI loved it when I read that Joni searched for backing musicians for a long time, and eventually discovered that only jazz musicians could grok what she was trying to do. From then on, I think, she only worked with jazzers.

Beautiful cover, but the title is a worry :)
It's a bit like this beautiful Frank Zappa track, the sublime nature of the music deflated by the ridiculous title:

Good advice from Mr Zappa, wearing his public service broadcasting hat.

Ha! And he seems to have had some bad experiences with tradespeople, where Adrian Belew maybe does best Bob Dylan impersonation I've ever heard :)Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2022, 11:35 am Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow!

...and now I'm listening to "Shadows and light", as I haven't listened to it for a while. These days, I tend to put my (rather large) music collection on shuffle-play, so it's a rare treat to listen to one album all the way through.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑September 20th, 2022, 9:59 am Ah, it was that band!

Here's the YT version, for those who listen to music that way. I'm Old School, and still prefer my lounge hi-fi system for playing music.
