[Kerouac, Jack. (1922–1969)] Goldblatt, Burt. (1924–2006). Original Contact Sheet of Portraits by Burt Goldblatt. Photographer, designer and author Burt Goldblatt is best-known for designing the covers of jazz albums. Among those he captured on record covers were Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Charles Mingus. A regular visitor to jazz clubs, he often visited musicians at work to photograph them, and was well-known by jazz musicians. The New York Times wrote that his style "encompassed black-and-white portraits and studio photographs, inspired by film noir, as well as gritty street scenes, often abstractly overlaid with flat colors, evoking a sense of urban night life. Expressionistic line drawings of performers in action were also in vogue."
