The Jazz Issue linda lewis Die-cut outer sleeveThe landmark Jazz Issue features on the front the classic Blue Train photo of John Coltrane, uncropped, and on the back, trumpet star Freddie Hubbard from his CTI heyday. Behind both of these legends was jazz producer Creed Taylor, who left his mark on Impulse and Verve before starting his untouchable CTI Records. We feature a major oral history of Creed's career, as well as stories on Horace Tapscott, Richard Evans, Joel Dorn, and Melvin Sparks.
