Edited by Yasushi Ide, Chika Minami. Preface by Yasushi Ide. Afterword by Shuya Okino, Takamori Kadoi.
A meticulously curated visual archive dedicated exclusively to the graphic culture of jazz
Rather than focusing on record sleeves or album artwork, Vintage Jazz Poster Scrap foregrounds original vintage posters, flyers, booklets and magazines, positioning printed ephemera as a primary medium through which jazz culture was communicated and experienced. Spanning clubs, concerts, festivals and independent promotions, this collection from music producer and DJ Yasushi Ide traces how visual language shaped the public imagination of jazz across decades. Featuring 454 images drawn from the collection of Tokyo-based producer Yasushi Ide, the book reveals the diversity of design approaches—from bold typographic experiments to expressive illustration—reflecting the improvisational spirit and global reach of jazz itself. Conceived as both an art book and a historical archive, this publication will appeal to jazz enthusiasts, designers, collectors and anyone interested in the intersection of music and visual expression.
