Jazz Love Blueprint Poster 60x80cm
The poster shows the history of jazz mapped over the circuit diagram of a phonograph from the 1950s.
The Jazz Love Blueprint celebrates over 1,000 musicians, artists, songwriters and producers who have been instrumental in the development of this ever-changing and ever-creative music genre.
From late 19th century jazz pioneers such as ragtime composer and pianist Scott Joplin and New Orleans cornetist Buddy Bolden to the new wave of musicians such as Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Shabaka Hutchings and Nubya Garcia.
The print also pays tribute to the great innovators who laid the groundwork for jazz music, including influential ragtime musicians (Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton), New Orleans pioneers (Buddy Bolden, Kid Ory, King Oliver), early recording bands (Original Dixieland Jass Band, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band), original jazz giants (Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald), musicians and big bands from the swing era (Count Basie, The Dorsey Brothers, Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Ivy Benson) and legendary jazz singer-songwriters (Billie Holiday , Sarah Vaughan).
The pressure weaves through the inspired musicians from bebop (Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie), cool jazz (Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck), hard bop (Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Horace Silver, Clifford Brown), free jazz (Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Carla Bley, Eric Dolphy), spiritual jazz (John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders), jazz fusion (Chick Corea, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra), to the vibrant UK scene (Ezra Collective, Shabaka Hutchings , Nubya Garcia, Kokoroko, Moses Boyd) and the exploding American scene (Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Makaya McCraven).
