Taschen’s Jazz Covers illuminated jazz’s love affair with laidback cool and originality. It traced the rich visual history of the covers that housed some of the most and least well known releases within the genre. Crafted to appeal to designers and music lovers alike, Jazz Covers was not some coffee table fodder but a resource to savour and gawp at. Following on from this, Funk & Soul attempts to do the same for the soul train generation. A release well worth keeping an eye out for.

On the Taschen tip, also check out Alex Steinweiss: The Inventor of the Modern Album Cover. A wonderful tribute to the highly respected Mr Steinwiess, a true design innovator.
