jazz sex album covers: addendum

Although too controversial to make the cut, this subversive cover from Verve Records further underscores the storied record label's important contribution to the continual evolution of the music we call jazz.

From the website:

"Although Verve would play a substantial role in popularizing the LP format and stereo recording, the quality that really set Verve apart was [Norman] Granz's open-minded musical philosophy. Granz's refusal to recognize artificially imposed stylistic boundaries helped to create an environment in which the musicians could fulfill their artistic potential, and resulted in a series of inspired collaborations between players with widely divergent backgrounds."
