Jazz at First Sight: On View: July 3–December 31, 2010 Jazz at Lincoln Center presents a free art exhibition entitled Jazz at First Sight: The Art of David Stone Martin, featuring the record-album art of David Stone Martin (1913-1992)—whose brilliantly evocative jazz covers for the Verve label and others at mid-century set the industry standard. Martin sought visual equivalents of the music contained in the sleeves he illustrated: iconic images instantly recognizable as modern jazz. This exhibit is curated by Robert G. O’Meally, C. Daniel Dawson, Diedra Harris-Kelley and Linda Florio (designer), with Tad Hershorn of the Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University, as special curatorial advisor. July 3–December 31, 2010
The exhibit is FREE and open to the public:
