From the back cover: Cover painting by Tracy Sugarman

Tracy Surgarman has been in the forefront of the young illustrators who have been giving new diversion to graphic art since the end of World War II. A graduate of the Syracuse University College of Fine Arts in 1943. Mr. Sugarman was the winner of the graduate award in illustration.

For three years he served as a Lieutenant in the Navy seeing action in the European Theatre. At the end of hostilities, Mr. Sugarman studied for two years with David Stone Martin at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. His career in illustration has ranged far afield. He has done work for several publications such as Esquire, Colliers, McCalls, the American Magazine and Parents Magazine; has illustrated several juvenile editions for Wm. Morrow Publishers and has done extensive work for many of the large advertising agencies in the East.

Tracy Sugarman has sold many of his paintings to lovers of modern art. He has constantly sought new forms and explored new media, feelings always that the commercial field of Madison Avenue can be as challenging and creative as 57th Street around the corner.

This young artist brings to record covers a creative talent rarely utilized in this field. Unlike most artists, he did not receive specific instructions to produce a particular type of cover, but was merely told the subject of the record album and from there his wonderful creative ability took over to produce the imaginative cover you see. His use of strong blacks and bold splashes of color combine to give a feeling of movement and directions.

Tracy Sugarman was born in Syracuse, New York, and now makes his home in Westport, Connecticut with his wife and two children. He has an extensive interest in Jazz as well as classical music, and has a very fine collection of records.
