Last spin for the night is a very rare (probably) late 1940s/early 1950s 12-inch 78 RPM set by 20th Century classical composer Alan Hovhaness on Moses Asch's "Disc" label. Cover art is by #DavidStoneMartin, which I collect (he did some 400 album covers in his lifetime). 1of2 #musicsky #music

Easing into Saturday in a reflective mood (which I need to morph into productive!) with this 1974 John Coltrane LP: Alternate Takes. The 1st Trane album I ever bought in the mid-70s, it remains a favorite. 1of2

Does record collecting get any more obscure, international or beautiful than this bargyn bin find at Grooves Records today? Lovely 1954 recordings by French-American harpist #CarlosSalzedo with cover art by David Stone Martin. Australian release. Cont'd #musicsky #music #harp #davidstonemartin

Remarkably uplifting mid50s LP by BeBop legend (& Monk protege, something I just learned). Cover artist David Stone Martin seemed to portray' Powell's mental challenges in fairly heavy drawings. More...

Mono Monday : Now playing The President Plays With The Oscar Peterson Trio. 1956. Lester Young in fine form. Cover by David Stone Martin. I don't know why they later changed this cover design… The re-issue is pretty awful. #musicsky #jazzsky #music #jazz #lesteryoung #davidstonemartin
