“East Broadway Run Down” by Sonny Rollins

6

In 1967, Impulse! Records released East Broadway Run Down by saxophonist Sonny Rollins. This record was described as his “jewel” of the '60s before he stopped recording music for 6 years. Sonny Rollins incorporated free jazz to the fullest, bringing his unique sound to a subgenre beginning to rise in popularity. The cover uses paint to express the loud, ambitious nature of the album while using a more sound lowercase sans-serif in contrast. This cover could be a loose reflection of the bustling streets of East Broadway with a yellow hue. With no doubt, the album cover succeeds in displaying the music with sensibility and purpose.
