Salute to John Hermansader

Sad to report that one of Blue Note's first great cover designers/artists, John Hermansader, recently passed away. I was honored to be interviewed by writer Bob Miller for a July 17 tribute article, The Art of Jazz in the Danbury News Times. Unfortunately, this article has already been archived by the NewsTimes and one has to pay at least $3.49 in order to read it. If you opt out of that, you can take a look at some of Hermansader's wonderfully modern and expressionistic covers on this page at Vintage Vanguard, (which is where I got the image above). Hermansader preceded the better known Reid Miles and, although Miles did make the "Blue Note look" we all can recognize and nicely highlighted Francis Wolff's photos, it's safe to say that Hermansader, who was the jazz fan and aficionado that Miles wasn't, was more successful, by combining both abstracted marks and photographs, at creating a visual jazz.

On the Vintage Vanguard page I've linked here, you can also see his work in BN 5021-5024, 5028-5032, 5037-9, 5041-2, 5045, in addition to those on this page and a few others. (If you click on them, you can sometimes pick out his name along the side of the larger images that opens up in a new window.) These are all 10" records. The other great designer/artist represented on this page is Paul Bacon, and it's not always easy to distinguish who did which without a credit somewhere on the cover.

In any case, hats off to John Hermansader: his early designwork on jazz album covers surely influenced many of those that came after him and helped set jazz apart as the single genre best represented by its distinctive packaging. No other music form has ever had such a cohesively fertile visual component as 1940s-60s jazz.

All hail Mr. Francis

Thanks so much to Mark Francis of alternating Monday Lost & Found fame for filling in for me this past Thursday on Coffeetime. I just finished listening to the show from the archive. (Don't forget you can listen to all the shows on WMBR for up to two weeks after they air, anytime that's convenient for you.) It was a really fab show; don't miss it.

He's put up the playlist and some nifty images on his nifty blog.

Sorry I haven't posted sooner; a biz trip to NYC in the high broil days of late July, full moon and all, was far more exhausting than I ever imagined. I was there to cover (Jimmy Olson style) TypeCon, a conference about type and type design.

Soup's on!

That is to say, the July 14th Coffeetime is now up on the archive. Because a bowl of hot soup is not really a great summertime image!

On the other handyman, though, this soup is always a welcome tasty. [Erm, scroll down on this page to see my disclaimer…]

Wake Up & Dream

I was sad to read today in the NY Times online (you need to register to read it) that June Haver passed away. She sang "Give Me the Simple Life" so beautifully in one of my favorite (in the sweet category) movies, Wake Up and Dream. (Love John Ireland and John Payne {and Clem Bevans!} in that movie too.) I wish I could buy a copy, but it's not out on DVD yet, that I know. If it comes on TV, be sure to catch it.

Vintage Children's Books

I went to Boing Boing a few days ago and was reminded of a site I found last December after a friend gave me an old Russian (actually, Soviet) coloring book: Children's Books of the Early Soviet Era.

My coloring book:

Happy 4th - here is the show!

I hope you all have had a great weekend, with blue skies, blue water, …uh … and a blue popsicle. The latest show is up on the Coffeetime Archive.

I've added some links to a few political blogs on the right; erm, don't hold it against me if we are on different sides of the fence. Whaddya expect? (Note though, the views and opinions and links to vintage toy sites, scopitones, and silly pictures are purely those of yours truly and do not reflect WMBR, its management, or the Technology Broadcasting Corp.)

Here is a summery image for you too.

This week’s show is now playing at your local website.

Hey, the show is on the archive, if you want to stream or download it.

Also, my friend Irwin Chusid sent me a link to a poignant tribute to Paul Winchell by Mark Evanier, who also has a neat gallery of Castle film boxes. Check ’em out.

Worth a few words, perhaps, not a thousand…

Blogger now allows even Mac people to post images easily, sooooo, since I’ve had a request from a listener to post a photo of meself (or “my elf” as a friend and I chuckle to say), here’s one of me from 1992, at bat, surely to strike out yet again or foul miserably, on behalf of the WMBR softball team. Notice the rather disgusted, bored stance of the outfielder. Notorious for throwing the bat, people learn to keep their distance.

Yay, go team!
