Reid Miles & Andy Warhol: Johnny Griffin, The Congregation, Blue Note 1580 (1958)
Recommended By
Johnny Griffin’s album featuring a cover designed by Andy Warhol in collaboration with Reid Miles, based on photos by Francis Wolff.
The cover of Johnny Griffin's 'The Congregation' features a vivid blue and green flower pattern, with a dip-pen ink line, tracing Griffin’s relaxed pose with his saxophone. It's an early example of Warhol's style, done in collaboration with Reid Miles.
The next Warhol-Miles cooperation for Blue Note records follows the same path as the Kenny Burrell album: in 1956 there was an album called Introducing Johnny Griffin, with a cover designed by Reid Miles and a photo of Griffin by Francis Wolff. So for the next Griffin album on Blue Note with a Reid Miles design, Miles asks Warhol to make a graphic interpretation of the Francis Wolff photo portrait.
