The Color of Jazz
Jazz Tracks: Friday, December 1, 2006
The work of Pete Turner is perhaps some of the most well known in the world of jazz photography. For five decades, Turner’s lens has captured and created images that are not only striking and colorful, but also among the most memorable. Hired in the late 50’s by legendary jazz record label owner Creed Taylor, Turner’s work has appeared on four different record label album covers during that period including Verve, CTI, A & M and ABC/Paramount. Turner’s works have graced the covers of albums performed by musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, AC Jobim, Grover Washington Jr., Hubert Laws, Airto Moriera, Wes Montgomery, Milt Jackson, Stan Getz, Quincy Jones and others. WCPN music director Bobby Jackson produced a radio segment in December 2006 called “The Color Of Jazz” in conjunction with the release of Turner’s made for the coffee table sized book of the same name. The book is 12” x 12” and features 80 of Turner’s finest prints as well as a foreward by Quincy Jones, an introduction by celebrated author Ashley Kahn and an afterword by Creed Taylor.
