Music Monday - Teddy Wilson




Things are sort of dull around the Music Monday composing room, so for the next few weeks the cracked editorial staff has decided on a new feature for the day:

The artwork of David Stone Martin on record covers.

One exciting work of art (called Illustration by some) will be presented here each week until they run out. Each is a scan from the editor's personal library and the original copyrights apply.

They are presented here for admiration and educational purposes only.


Teddy Wilson was a fine piano player.

He was probably best known for his years and recordings with Benny Goodman groups and heading up a small band to back vocals for some of the best Billie Holiday recordings.

Teddy Wilson died yesterday July 31, in 1986.
He was 73.






Near as I can tell, this was the only David Stone Martin cover for a Teddy Wilson record. There were two 45 rpm records, same design slightly different colors.
