“Pat Metheny, Stories beyond Words” – Reflection 13 – Two views of three cover images
One of the exciting moments in the lead up to the release of a new book is when I receive a copy of the printed book jacket. I’ve known for a few months what the front cover would look like, but just on a computer screen. I had some idea of how the “blurbs” would read on the back cover, but not exactly. Actually seeing how it looks in the light, the depth of its colors… is a fun moment.
I kiddingly refer to these two pictures “the cousins” since both includes all three of my three University of Chicago Press books – “You’ll Known When You Get There: Herbie Hancock and the Mwandishi Band” (2012), “The Miles Davis Lost Quintet and Other Revolutionary Ensembles” (2016) and now, “Pat Metheny, Stories beyond Words” (coming August 5, 2024). Here they are! The cover photo on the new book is by Roberto Cifarelli.
