I have to admit that the name Pete Turner doesn’t didn’t mean that much to me. Names like Reid Miles and Francis Wolf are rightly given a lot of recognition from their association with the Blue Note style. But what about Impulse? Atlantic? Columbia? Verve? Well Pete Turner was one of the “other” guys who helped to define a style on other record labels with his cover photography. He put out a book called the Colour Of Jazz that features his work and there’s a great interview that talks not only about his background and life, but also offers some insight as to his approach. Well worth the read!
