Music

Arthur Getz is one of the people who designed the most covers for The New Yorker, 213, between 1938 and 1988. On the cover of January 4 1958, for the New Year, he captured a jazz orchestra in full swing. Pianist about to play, hands suspended above the keyboard, and absorbed double bassist, contrast with the energy of the drummer with his wild sticks. An image that reminds us that New York was the jazz capital of the world.
