I've heard young designers today dismiss him and they only sound ridiculous, since Miles was in this game before alot of us were even born and doing it all by hand!

Brody, Carson, V Oliver, Seville all seem to get more mentions than Reid Miles in the articles, books and sites I read. I make no excuses as one of the reasons for starting this blog was not "to show how much I know" but actually "how little I know" and learn as I post. Hey Derrick,

No offense, but to be running a site on record cover graphics and not know his name...well, it seems a bit odd. I should also add that theres a funny story that has been going around for some time (no idea if its really true or not). But its been said that Reid Miles hated jazz. He would take his copies of the records and sell them so he could buy classical music. Rather humorous when you realize he created the iconic jazz cover. Its pretty much impossible to look for jazz covers without seeing that style imitated everywhere.

Don't forget Francis Wolff who shot most of the great pics used on Miles Reid-designed Blue Note albums. the book is “Blue Note: Album Cover Art” by Graham Marsh. There’s 2 vols.
