ISSUE 34 - THE JAZZ ISSUE by WAX POETICS

*2025 RE-PRINT - originally issued in 2009 ** No advertisements **

The landmark Jazz Issue features on the front the classic Blue Train photo of John Coltrane, uncropped, and on the back, trumpet star Freddie Hubbard from his CTI heyday. Behind both of these legends was jazz producer Creed Taylor, who left his mark on Impulse and Verve before starting his untouchable CTI Records. We feature a major oral history of Creed's career, as well as stories on Horace Tapscott, Richard Evans, Joel Dorn, and Melvin Sparks.
