This photo shows someone [me again] holding a vibrant jazz album titled "BEBOP" by Milt Jackson. The cover features bold, eye-catching design with large white letters spelling "BEBOP" against a colorful background with orange, yellow, and blue sections. In the upper right corner is a photograph of Milt Jackson smiling, wearing formal attire with a bow tie. His name "MILT JACKSON" appears in yellow text at the top of the album. The album is on the East-West label, with their logo visible in the bottom right corner along with "FULL DIGIPAK RECORDING" text. The setting shows the album being held near a white shelf with under-lighting. On top of the surface are some decorative items including commemorative coins or medallions - one has text reading "PHRACK" and another shows the NSA logo. The person holding the album is wearing a gold wedding ring, and you can see a record collection in the background and to the left side of the frame.
This photo shows [me] holding a vintage album titled "ROAD TIME" by Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band, released on RCA (CPL2-2242 STEREO) as a 2-record set. The cream-colored album cover features a clever design with overlapping travel-themed luggage tags in different colors - including a red tag for "TYO LOS ANGELES LOCAL 47" and blue/green tags with flight numbers. The setting shows a vinyl collection with records stored vertically in the background. A yellow album (possibly "Mañana" by Herbie Mann based on the visible text [no, good guess, but it's Montovani's Tango LP]) is prominently displayed among the collection. On the white illuminated shelf surface, there are several items visible: a small decorative bookend or holder, that PHRACKcommemorative medallions seen in the other photo, and part of Milt Jackson's LP with "BOP" lettering visible at the bottom edge of the frame. The lighting creates a nice ambiance, and you can see wooden speaker cabinets or furniture in the background on the right side. [N o you can't — that's just some record cleaning gear.] The person holding the album [yous truly] Iis wearing the same wedding ring visible in the previous photo, maintaining continuity in this series of vinyl collection photos.
