Better Git It In Your Soul

This week's beautiful record cover is one you'll get to see at Sunday's kissa session featuring Charles Mingus. The cover painting was created by the incredible S. Neil Fujita: a Japanese American who was actually interred before fighting for the U.S. Army in both Europe and the Pacific. He had a celebrated career as a designer at Columbia Records and eventually became a professor at Parsons School of Design. Check out this excellent nod to Abstract Expressionism from 1959!  We've also got a track from Mingus' album The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady below as a teaser for Sunday's party.
