Music Monday - Jazz at the Philharmonic - Norman Granz

One of my favorites Maria Muldaur was born today in 1942 but I couldn’t find any birthdays or events this week to associate with David Stone Martin’s art work. So today we have a various artist album cover by DSM.

This is from a 78 rpm set of one of the many, many incarnations of Jazz At The Philharmonic from Norman Granz, jazz music impresario and producer.

The figure here, with trumpet, became the overall logo (or icon) for Granz and his record labels, primarily Verve and Clef. There is a list of Granz promoted recordings HERE.

David Stone Martin

Since no one seems to know when David Stone Martin's birthday is, I pick today.

I found a new album cover by Martin in a junk shop a couple days ago so today is as good as any.

So, today, in 1913 David Stone Martin was born.

No need to thank me. It's my job.
