A bunch of musical hooligans from Chicago called....erm, "Chicago".

Chicago - Group Portrait (Greatest Hits Compilation, Columbia, 1991) - photographed by Horn/Griner

From what I could gather, this was taken from a photograph session in 1971, I presume to promote Chicago III (notice the color of the logo on the drum is similar to the color of the logo in said album). Aside from this and another photo from some magazine that's escaped my mind, I can't find any other photos from this session, and no version of Group Portrait has anything beyond this cover.

“What are some of your all-time favorite record album covers?”

The 1950’s saw the explosive convergence of new technology, mass media, and middle class affluence bumping right into an expansive view of civil rights political freedoms and the empowerment of young people. And popular music –jazz, rhythm & blues, and pop– quickly shoved aside theatre, movies, and even television as the epicenter of popular culture. Nowhere was this more reflected than in the eruption in innovative graphic design, embodied most perfectly in the LP cover.

Which is why I was so depressed to see the JerryJazzMusician feature, Reminiscing in Tempo: “What are some of your all-time favorite record album covers?” 25 distinguished artists of all stripes weigh in, and it goes to show you that being fabulous at one art can often blind one to some of the others. Mostly the collective picked music its members liked (nothing wrong with the music) with very little regard to any visual distinctions. And really, in a world where jazz graphics set the standard, and the Beatles were the nuclear power behind 25 years of visual metamorphosis, in over 200 selections there just seven meh Blue Notes and three Beatle mentions. And not for nothing, three hip hop covers. No surprise, the most sublime choices generally came from the graphic designer and photographer who responded to the survey.

Don’t get me wrong, picking just 10 great anythings from a creative renaissance is tough –my first cut for this survey has over 40 choices and I left out a lot of greatness– but jeez.

The 10 I’ve selected (I know it seems like 11; in my mind, Elvis and The Clash are of a piece) above try to showcase a balance of penetrating photography, sublime typography, the dying art of illustration, and overall visual and cultural impacts. And yes, I used a few of the killer ones from the JerryJazz post and avoided the great Blue Notes, which we’ve featured many times. Make your own list, and let us know about it.

WNBA Game Previews 8/27/17

WNBA Daily Fantasy Sports Report: August 27

Minnesota Lynx (24 - 6)  at Los Angeles Sparks (23 - 8), 7:00 PM ET

*The Lynx have won two straight games in blowout fashion, after a rough patch of four losses in six games. They are 11 - 4 on the road this season.

*The Sparks have won four straight games and five of their last six, including a win over the Lynx. They are 13 - 1 at home this season.

*The Lynx vs Sparks is always a championship caliber match-up, even in the situation where both teams have already clinched for the playoffs. They last met earlier this month, a Sparks six-point win. In that game, the Lynx were led by Sylvia Fowles’ 17 points, 13 rebounds and four combined steals/blocks. Rebekkah Brunson scored 14 points with nine boards, but she is now injured and unavailable on Sunday. Maya Moore was held to 12 points and three assists, and Renee Montgomery managed 10 points with five assists. 

Brunson and Lindsey Whalen continue to miss time, injured, which allows larger opportunities for players like Natasha Howard, Jia Perkins and Montgomery. 

*In their recent six-point win over the Lynx, the Sparks were led in the scoring column by Chelsea Gray’s 23 points. Candace Parker produced a 19-point/10 rebound double-double. Odyssey Sims scored 14 points with five assists. Nneka Ogwumike had a down game with only three points on 1 - 8 FG, but she has been playing better in the last week than she had been.

Phoenix Mercury (15 - 16)  at Seattle Storm (14 - 17), 9:00 PM ET

*The Mercury have lost three straight and four of five games, not yet re-finding their groove with Brittney Griner back. They are 8 - 8 on the road this season.

*The Storm lost their last game, but had won their four previous games before that. They are 10 - 6 at home this season. 

*These two teams locked horns earlier this month, with the Storm winning by nine points. The Mercury were led by Diana Taurasi’s 20 points, four assists and four rebounds. Brittney Griner, freshly returned from her injury absence, scored 19 points and seven boards in 21 minutes. Monique Currie was the only other Mercury in double-digit scoring, with 11 points and two assists in 22 minutes.

*In that same game, the Storm got 20 points and nine rebounds from Breanna Stewart along with 20 points and five assists from Jewell Loyd. Crystal Langhorne scored 19 points with six boards and five assists, and Alysha Clark scored 13 points with five boards.

There is some argument today over who did what in their ad agency partnership, but the look of these shots —commissioned by Columbia Records creative director John Berg—is unmistakably Horn/Griner: carefully staged, lavishly propped and highly reminiscent of Norman Rockwell.
