Back in 2009, Blue Note Records,
the influential jazz label, was celebrating its 70th anniversary. And
The Bella Vista Social Pub, looking to promote its own summer jazz
concerts in Siena, Tuscany, came up with a smart idea.
Why not pay
tribute to Blue Note (and promote the Italian concert series) by
animating the cool cover designs that graced Blue Note albums during its
heyday.
These cover designs were the work of Reid Miles,
a graphic designer who moved from Esquire magazine to Blue Note around
1955, then designed hundreds of aura-creating covers until he left the
label in 1967.
The animated video above, called Hi-Fi, brings Miles’
work back to life. Graphicology has more on the nostalgia-inducing clip here.
