Vox, I love your contents. I’m literally addicted to your videos. Can you please make a video about Ethiopian Jazz from the 60th and 70th. Please 🙏🏿😭 The legendary Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong visited Ethiopia in 1973 and even Duke Ellington was awarded medal from the then Emperor Haile Selassie I. Dr. Mulatu Astatke ( the father of Ethio-jazz) was his guide in Addis Ababa. I know you guys are going to make a video about it. Still waiting.....
Silasky I met Estelle last week, and she's been animating with After Effects for over 5 years now so she can do that stuff decently quick compared to all the time she puts in for research on the topics

As a visual artist, and someone who plays and listens to jazz regularly, I absolutely loved this video. I hope this series continues and is popular so you guys have more opportunity with it.
that powerful combination of typography and photography is something i've always found very compelling, it's interesting to see that this has some origins in jazz
I love the way you guys animated the typography of the albums. The movements are great, the jerky frame rate gives this a very vintage character. I also like the way it's edited. The music, the motion design sequences, the interviews and the narration are very well intertwined. Makes it easy to feel the creativity that you guys are talking about. Great work!
You should do a video about Impulse Records they also have beautiful photos.I would love to share my entire Impluse Records catalog with VOX. I have the entire collection on vinyl
Very creative. Each one is unique, but with a similar style of 'sophistication', and always with a very good choice of design. Turning and combining simple things into something emotional and visually pleasing.
YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT VOX! THANKS FOR REMEMBERING HIDDEN GEMS OF ART HISTORY AND CONVEYING THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY’S POWER. BIG LOVE AND RESPECT FOR REID MILES AND OTHER JAZZ GIANTS! GREETINGS FROM TURKEY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! PEACE!
I got to teach a class at UCLA & The Grammy Museum about Blue Note & Impulse Records.Kenny Burrell a blue note alumni was also part of my class. Kenny Burrell said that he designed his first album cover midnight blue for blue note records what an amazing label with an amazing history....
Estelle Caswell and Gina Barton, the animation is this video was absolutely stunning and incredibly captivating. I was so fully immersed in the story telling of the whole video too. Everything was just so beautifully well done. Please keep making amazing work such as this.
🙏 Having that level of creativity without graphic design degree, photoshop/creative software or internet is something the young designers cant imagine it possible
Giant Steps aside, this is the best short visual explanation for so many things related to the acoustics of Western music. I have seen many short videos on this topic. This one is the best. Good job!
That Unity album by Larry Young is always coming to my mind when I'm thinking of Blue Note. It's absolutely timeless, which you can not say about most album covers from the late 70's and until today.
Would love to see you guys do something on the ECM label as part of the Earworm series. Their entire aesthetic from the beautiful album covers to the particular sound that most of the artists on their roster have is just so unique and worth digging deeper into.
Grew up seeing many of these classic album covers. Always was fascinated by Jazz album covers. So sophisticated. This was a great video. Love this series.
The writing, editing, and graphic design is amazingly well done! And the designer for those covers had a great eye both for representing the music through the design and also in catching people's attention in record store
Earworm has to be the best series on this channel! I love jazz, and seeing my favourite albums on Vox makes me super happy! Keep up the good work, Estelle :)
Those Album, Cover Really Give A Good Impression OF Great Music And It Really Does When I Buy My Jazz Collection. The Color Itself Giving These Some Sort Of Fascinating Feel Before You Listen To The Song Excitement And Enjoyment.
I have always loved the covers of Blue Note, they have a lot of personality and it goes very well with the spectacular music. Thank you for this! Greetings from Argentina.
Eu gosto de Jazz desde pequeno e meu interesse tem se tornado cada vez maior. Essa série de vídeos me deu uma ideia do cenário dá época e de como eles faziam o Jazz. Eu também gosto da Bossa Nova, que é o Jazz do Brasil.
Being a graphic designer I must say these covers made me want to study design and also these covers made me fall in love with jazz. Thank you for creating this video this is pretty awesome! I always wondered who designed the blue note covers and also who took the photos! Thanks!!
Reid Miles is so overlooked as a graphic designer - he's my favorite - absolutely amazing when considering the style, client, and audience - superb ...

More Earworm, please! This is the best UA-cam series I've ever had the pleasure to watch!
Props to the vox graphic designer who had to re-design all these covers for the purpose of animation.
I spent the whole video thinking about how much time it took to do all of that.
The keyframes. THE KEYFRAMES!!!!
@@skyerune I got a headache thinking about how much work each animation took
never even thought of that
Silasky I met Estelle last week, and she's been animating with After Effects for over 5 years now so she can do that stuff decently quick compared to all the time she puts in for research on the topics

Would love a coffee table book of Blue Note album covers....

@@mutton7891 that was quick . i didnt think a coffee book like this existed thank you
@@mutton7891 VERY cool.
@@mutton7891 you are a loved human on youtube today, i want you to know that
The VOX graphic designers and editors are the real MVPs!
Apparently a lot of graphic design and animation is also done by Estelle, who narrates and researches the topics which makes it even more impressive
The editing and graphics on this clip are FANTASTIC!
and this includes finding similar fonts and unedited photographs of the albums.
exactly.
Voiceover, also brilliant.
Fantastic is the word! Beautiful work. I was captivated.
Just one mistake, to a musician: The reels on the tape recorder are turning the wrong way!
mjears , my reel to reel ran in both directions... multi-track recording and playback...
As a visual artist, and someone who plays and listens to jazz regularly, I absolutely loved this video. I hope this series continues and is popular so you guys have more opportunity with it.
Absolutely! We need more people to listen to jazz!
Your motion design department is composed of gods. Just FYI.
This series is outstanding. Vox really produces some of the best videos on UA-cam.
The guys names were Wolf and Lion? That's the coolest partnership I've ever heard!
Since Sansa and Joffrey?
How in the world was this story edited?!
yes it's so succinct and beautiful! gives you the right amount of info to stay curious and search for more
Whoever did the graphic design / video editing part: huge props! Amazing skills.
They did an awesome work. It did justice to Reid Miles.
With After Effects

Reid needs an exhibition in a museum fr his art is amazing
Love jazz, love Earworm. This video is the perfect combination
Fun Fact: Rudy Van Gelder was actually an eye doctor who started out recording local artists part-time at his parents' house in Hackensack
I would argue that Rudy is (was) the biggest non-musician figure in the history of jazz. The day we lost him was a big day.
The day Vox makes a documentary about contemporary dance or dancers I’ll be the happiest person ever
This is the second video in a three-part Earworm miniseries all about Jazz! Check out episode 1 here: bit.ly/2QWZr9l
A Bollywood video plzz
You should do a video about Impulse Records they also have beautiful photos.I would love to share my entire Impluse Records catalog with VOX.
I have the entire collection on vinyl
@@astrojazzman I agree, OJC, RIVERSIDE also !!!
@@lucky4724 flying dutchman - CTI & Kudu Records all had great covers!
another great video!
Very creative. Each one is unique, but with a similar style of 'sophistication', and always with a very good choice of design. Turning and combining simple things into something emotional and visually pleasing.
The blue note archivist is like a dream job
Such a cool story, I love these covers and now I know why they are so wonderful and intimate at the same time
This episode is great! I am mad that it is so short.

this series about jazz is just so jazzy!!!
Every Vox video is a gem.
That album cover with the exclamation points is so visually pleasing. Well, all of them are, but I like that one in particular.
My favorite Vox series at the moment!
Blue Note and their coverstyle is so iconic that even someone who can barely name 10 jazz artists, like me, instantly recognizes it.
🙏 Having that level of creativity without graphic design degree, photoshop/creative software or internet is something the young designers cant imagine it possible
That was awesome.
Giant Steps aside, this is the best short visual explanation for so many things related to the acoustics of Western music. I have seen many short videos on this topic. This one is the best. Good job!

i am so amazed by their creativity
These videos have been amazing for me getting into jazz, thanks so much! Just followed a bunch of blue note's playlists on Spotify
The art is really cool, but i also like how ya'll animated the art in this video. Very visually appealing.
could tell you guys put a lot of effort into this series of videos, keep them going. 👍🏼
Freddie Hubbard is by far my fav Jazz Artist, awesome to see the story behind his amazing album covers!
I've literally picked up Blue Note albums based on the covers alone (and have never been disappointed)...
I wish there was a full movie based on this video. It's absolutely gorgeous!
Those Blue Note covers are at a league of their own. Top-notch photography and inventive art direction all rolled into one.
I can live without jazz, but these earworm vids are so brilliant that now I care more about jazz than ever. Excellent work.
Would love to see you guys do something on the ECM label as part of the Earworm series. Their entire aesthetic from the beautiful album covers to the particular sound that most of the artists on their roster have is just so unique and worth digging deeper into.
as a jazz fan and graphic designer, this hit me right in the heart
My love for graphic design is fulfilled by this video. This is making me so happy.
This is one of the best videos i saw on youtube in the whole year. Congratulations to Vox's team for creating those little gems
The design and visual art culture built around jazz will always be one of the coolest scenes. Such a neat, well-edited video. Thanks Vox!
Reid Miles created what we call a "Design System". It's a consistent voice that the eye can detect as part of a brand collection.
I love this episode, one of my favorites. As a great jazz fan, i treasure this. Thanks Estelle (And editors)
Earworm is the best! So good!
THANKS for increasing my APPRECIATION of Jazz!!!
As an amateur jazz drummer and graphic designer myself, I appreciate Vox doing this topic.
When I first discovered francis wolff's photos i was so blown away it changed my life
Parts 1 & 2... Fantastic! Well done. I am anxiously awaiting part 3. But of course, take your time with it.
Now you must acquire a taste for... Freeform Jazz.
It's videos like this that set your channel apart from the rest. Excellent. Thank you.
Who got the jazz? We've got the jazz.
Wouldn't have lasted ( or Happened) Without the Music 🎶 Mighty Warriors and Artists

One of the best vídeos Ive ever seem in this platform. Maybe the best.
That was so . . . eff in . . . awesome. Damn, I'm going to watch it again.
Such an informative and beautiful piece of academia, music, culture, video, history and style. Wow. Thank you so much.

Please do a video on the Bossa Nova craze in the 50s and 60s
Possibly my favourite series on UA-cam. Love it!
You have just created one of the best videos on the internet.
The Master indeed.... I must say, i really like the music segment here.
I have always loved the covers of Blue Note, they have a lot of personality and it goes very well with the spectacular music. Thank you for this! Greetings from Argentina.
Excellent coverage of a key aspect of Blue Note history and jazz.
I loved your hip-hop and rap videos and now I'm loving your jazz videos too! Keep up the awesome work Estelle Caswell !!
Keep the jazz videos going. I'm loving it!
These Jazz videos make me so happy thank you
I love jazz. I grow up around jazz, in Germany, in the 50's got here to U.S. in 1960. My favort ,the bird love that sax
I want more jazz!!!
I always loved jazz.
Favorite series of Vox
My arms tingle when I see a new Earworm show up in my sub feed. Please don't stop Estelle.
Eu gosto de Jazz desde pequeno e meu interesse tem se tornado cada vez maior.
Essa série de vídeos me deu uma ideia do cenário dá época e de como eles faziam o Jazz.
Eu também gosto da Bossa Nova, que é o Jazz do Brasil.
*We need more jazz vox!*
The animations leading up to each final album cover are stunning. Keep up the great work, Vox!
Being a graphic designer I must say these covers made me want to study design and also these covers made me fall in love with jazz. Thank you for creating this video this is pretty awesome! I always wondered who designed the blue note covers and also who took the photos! Thanks!!
Nothing is better than a warm cup of sugar free jazz!
So Great! Thank you for the journey thru memory lane via the graphic connection to the art form.
This is superbly done! A noble tribute to Blue Note's greatness.
Easily the best Vox video ever made
I swear if this lady just took over VOX and made every video about art and music the channel would be a million times better
Amazing documentaries! Earworm playlist is like a drug for my ears. Even the video style is great
This makes me love Photography, Jazz, and Album Covers more.
You're absolutely nailing these jazz videos
I love how you guys showed the original photograph and then overlayed the final album cover. Really cool stuff.
Reid Miles is so overlooked as a graphic designer - he's my favorite - absolutely amazing when considering the style, client, and audience - superb ...
he's the best ever...he hated Jazz music...but he was still the best.
the graphic designer/animator in this video deserves a raise
Wow this is one of the best videos Vox has done in a while. Editing with the contact sheets and the graphics was insane. Really awesome video.
Amazing covers. Also glad for the switch from pop to jazz.
Enjoying this series! You are hitting it out of the park on each episode. Keep up the great work.
Blue Note Records is one of my favorite labels, thank you for this!
This is hands down your best video series yet. Very interesting subject from a lot of different angles.
Keep up the fantastic work!
