David Stone MartinNew York, 1947
This is the "original cover" art on the front of the album folder that contained the four 78rpm records of 'Harold Courlander's' field recording's titled "Cult Music Of Cuba" from 1948-'49.
The "original" cover art was done by 'David Stone Martin', who was the artist that did dozen's of covers for many of the classic Be-Bop and jazz 10' inch album cover's and 12' inch LP covers during the 1940's and 1950's. Including Machito and Chico O'Farril's 10' inch cover and Dizzy Gillespie's 10' inch cover.
All four 78's were later released/reissued as one 33rpm LP on the "Ethnic Folkways" label (With both pink & blue cover).
A few photos included with four pages accompanying the original 78's
