The Art of Jazz explores how the expressionism and spontaneity of jazz spilled onto its album art, posters, and promotional photography, and even inspired standalone works of fine art.

Everyone knows jazz is on the cutting edge of music, but how much do you know about its influence in the visual arts?

Arranged chronologically, each chapter covers a key period in jazz history, from the earliest days of the twentieth century to today''s postmodern jazz.
