LOOK AT JAZZ

Available for pre-order.
In bookstores on September 12.

Since 2002, the graphic design duo Helmo has been in charge of the visual communication for Jazzdor festival, dedicated to improvised music. This book presents a selection of fifty-six concert posters designed between 2019 and 2024, and looks back at the genesis and process behind the creation of this visual series through two interviews with Thomas Couderc and Clément Vauchez, and Jazzdor director Philippe Ochem.

To reflect the wide aesthetic variety of the music in the programme, Helmo calls on all possible expression forms: photography, drawing, painting, materials, documents, typography, texts or quotations. Everything is allowed to compose these micro-narratives that announce and accompany this singular music.
