EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover showcases the iconic figure of Fats Waller, a jazz pianist and singer who ruled the American music scene in the 1930s. The image, taken from The Fats Waller Album of Favorite Songs and Piano Transcriptions, published in 1935, presents Waller in a casual yet sophisticated setting. Dressed in a green jacket, white collared shirt, and black bow tie, he sits confidently at the piano, his hands poised above the keys, ready to bring the music to life. The album cover is adorned with a charming illustration of a milkman delivering bottles on a cobblestone street, surrounded by honeysuckle vines and a spider and fly perched on a nearby windowsill. The whimsical scene adds a playful touch to the cover, reflecting the lighthearted and entertaining nature of Waller's music. The title of the album, "Favorite Songs and Piano Transcriptions," suggests that this record was intended for both professional pianists seeking to learn Waller's compositions and music lovers who wanted to enjoy his renditions of classic tunes in their own homes. The price of sixpence and shillings, indicated at the bottom of the cover, further underscores the affordability and accessibility of this album during the era. Fats Waller's music was known for its infectious rhythms, clever lyrics, and unforgettable melodies. With a career spanning the late 1920s through the 1940s, he left an indelible mark on jazz history and continues to be celebrated as a good friend and a true musical mastermind. This cover serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the timeless appeal of his music.
