DYK: three years before Alex Steinweiss changed the course of album art forever with the 1940 Rodgers & Hart comp for Columbia Records, he took 2nd Prize for this "See Your Doctor" poster?
Photo of a poster with a dark background and white text along the bottom (in all caps): See Your Doctor Be Examined Have a Blood Test Above the text are three light silhouettes of presumably two older adults and one child basking in the the spotlight of a dark caduceus symbol. Poster was reproduced in the book: For the Record: the Life and Work of Alex Steinweiss

A history of music album art. “Before most people owned a TV set, Steinweiss’s album covers were affordable multi-sensory entertainment. Looking at the album cover & listening to the music created an experience that was more than the sum of its parts.” [matthewstrom.com]

Here’s a question to celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month and National Poetry Month: what do you call #poetry derived from the song titles on one side of a #jazz LP?

Taking a break from working on a peer review to celebrate #Caturday. Spinning this Kenny Barron & Tommy Flanagan #jazz LP that I recently bought in Beacon, NY. It’s a Japanese release with fascinating yet inexplicable art by Satoshi Saito and photo by Masahisa Fukase.
Photo of a jazz record on a shelf and a cat figurine and pothos leaves on top. The record is a Japanese release of jazz piano duets with Kenny Barron and Tommy Flanagan. The cover art depicts a cat with neon light squiggles emanating from its rear?

Anyone can check out a book. Anyone can enjoy air-conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. Anyone can use the bathroom, sit on a soft chair, log onto the internet. Everyone’s library card looks the same. Children can encounter new worlds, and elders can find community. There’s no red tape.

Released #OnThisDay in 1964, this sublime album: Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus. One of my favorite LPs of all time.
A photograph of a record sitting atop a blue chord organ. Record is Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus by, ah um, Charles Mingus, released on the Impulse label. Or is it Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus by Mingus (based on the font design)?

Nice short piece in the Lancet: On Paying Attention
#MedicalHumanities

www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
On paying attention
Coined in 1971 by Nobel laureate economist Herbert A Simon, the term “attention economy” describes attention as a most valuable and limited resource. In this zero-sum game, the growing “wealth of information means the dearth of something else” or, as Simon observes, “a poverty of attention”.

“Cat?!”

🦇
Illustration from a book that depicts an animal unfortunately nailed to a wall. The animal has a head of a cat, wings of a bat, and a torso of who knows what. Below the animal are three mice or rats, acting like everything is totally normal. The book is by Athanasius Kirchner (D’Athanase Kirchere) whose name is above the animal along with the page number (113).

Photo of the poem "A Journey" written by Nikki Giovanni and take from my copy of Those Who Ride the Night Winds (published in 1983). Poem Reads: It’s a journey . . . that I propose . . .

Though the rail has been ridden . . . winter clouds cover . . . autumn’s exuberant quilt . . . we must provide our own guide-posts . . . I have heard . . . from previous visitors . . . the road washes out sometimes . . . and passengers are compelled . . . to continue groping . . . or turn back . . . I am not afraid . . . I am not afraid . . . of rough spots . . . or lonely times . . . I don’t fear . . . the success of this endeavor . . . I am Ra . . . in a space . . . not to be discovered . . . but invented . . .
