David Stone Martin part 4

In the world of jazz there is one artist collected the world over who has never played an instrument not even a note of music but has left his mark on the jazz culture. Illustrator David Stone Martin (1913 – 1992) was one of the most prolific and influential graphic designers of the postwar era, with his signature hand-sketched graphics with two or three primary colours, perfectly capturing the energy and spontaneity of the jazz idiom.

For biographical notes on Martin see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1-3 also.

This is part 3 of a 4-part post on the works of David Stone Martin:
