Jazz is the focus for the third instalment of Yasushi Ide’s Scrap series, Vintage Jazz Poster Scrap. The Japanese producer, DJ and label founder presents a selection of original vintage posters, from flyers to booklets, calendars and magazines covering past performances of jazz musicians and music in Japan.
Ide's series was kickstarted by searching for material for his autobiographical book, Rolling on the Road, and the majority of the items in the collection were gathered by him over a period of about eighteen months. This Scrap collection offers a meticulously curated, kaleidoscopic view of the visual language of jazz through his eyes, serving as a useful reference for fans of the artists, labels, music and design while also offering an entertaining trawl through the vaults at the same time.
