Le Jazz! L'art surréaliste! L'ange blanc!

I scanned in some of my parents' 1950s jazz record covers. My favorite so far is the back page of a flexi-disc magazine called Sonorama from 1959. It's an ad for a perfume called "Rock 'n' Roll" and the artist is Salvador Dali!

I wonder what Rock and Roll smells like.

Personally, I kind like the masked wrestler. In an MST3K kinda way.

Now I have to go home and listen to Sidney Bechet. He's terrific.

I feel a bit faint.
