Vox, I love your contents. I’m literally addicted to your videos. Can you please make a video about Ethiopian Jazz from the 60th and 70th. Please 🙏🏿😭 The legendary Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong visited Ethiopia in 1973 and even Duke Ellington was awarded medal from the then Emperor Haile Selassie I. Dr. Mulatu Astatke ( the father of Ethio-jazz) was his guide in Addis Ababa. I know you guys are going to make a video about it. Still waiting.....

More Earworm, please! This is the best KZread series I've ever had the pleasure to watch!

Props to the vox graphic designer who had to re-design all these covers for the purpose of animation.

Your motion design department is composed of gods. Just FYI.

This series is outstanding. Vox really produces some of the best videos on KZread.

that powerful combination of typography and photography is something i've always found very compelling, it's interesting to see that this has some origins in jazz

Fun Fact: Rudy Van Gelder was actually an eye doctor who started out recording local artists part-time at his parents' house in Hackensack

@AeroModule

I would argue that Rudy is (was) the biggest non-musician figure in the history of jazz. The day we lost him was a big day.

I love the way you guys animated the typography of the albums. The movements are great, the jerky frame rate gives this a very vintage character. I also like the way it's edited. The music, the motion design sequences, the interviews and the narration are very well intertwined. Makes it easy to feel the creativity that you guys are talking about. Great work!

Reid needs an exhibition in a museum fr his art is amazing

Love jazz, love Earworm. This video is the perfect combination

The blue note archivist is like a dream job

The day Vox makes a documentary about contemporary dance or dancers I’ll be the happiest person ever

Very creative. Each one is unique, but with a similar style of 'sophistication', and always with a very good choice of design. Turning and combining simple things into something emotional and visually pleasing.

I got to teach a class at UCLA & The Grammy Museum about Blue Note & Impulse Records.Kenny Burrell a blue note alumni was also part of my class. Kenny Burrell said that he designed his first album cover midnight blue for blue note records what an amazing label with an amazing history....

This episode is great! I am mad that it is so short.

Such a cool story, I love these covers and now I know why they are so wonderful and intimate at the same time

I want more jazz!!!

That was awesome.

Every Vox video is a gem.

YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT VOX! THANKS FOR REMEMBERING HIDDEN GEMS OF ART HISTORY AND CONVEYING THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY’S POWER. BIG LOVE AND RESPECT FOR REID MILES AND OTHER JAZZ GIANTS! GREETINGS FROM TURKEY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! PEACE!

i am so amazed by their creativity

My favorite Vox series at the moment!

Nothing is better than a warm cup of sugar free jazz!

I've literally picked up Blue Note albums based on the covers alone (and have never been disappointed)...

could tell you guys put a lot of effort into this series of videos, keep them going. 👍🏼

*We need more jazz vox!*

Estelle Caswell and Gina Barton, the animation is this video was absolutely stunning and incredibly captivating. I was so fully immersed in the story telling of the whole video too. Everything was just so beautifully well done. Please keep making amazing work such as this.

Earworm is the best! So good!

These videos have been amazing for me getting into jazz, thanks so much! Just followed a bunch of blue note's playlists on Spotify

This is one of the best videos i saw on youtube in the whole year. Congratulations to Vox's team for creating those little gems

I wish there was a full movie based on this video. It's absolutely gorgeous!

I love this episode, one of my favorites. As a great jazz fan, i treasure this. Thanks Estelle (And editors)

This series is wonderful. Looking forward to part three!

The design and visual art culture built around jazz will always be one of the coolest scenes. Such a neat, well-edited video. Thanks Vox!

Reid Miles created what we call a "Design System". It's a consistent voice that the eye can detect as part of a brand collection.

The animations leading up to each final album cover are stunning. Keep up the great work, Vox!

Possibly my favourite series on KZread. Love it!

That Unity album by Larry Young is always coming to my mind when I'm thinking of Blue Note. It's absolutely timeless, which you can not say about most album covers from the late 70's and until today.

Would love to see you guys do something on the ECM label as part of the Earworm series. Their entire aesthetic from the beautiful album covers to the particular sound that most of the artists on their roster have is just so unique and worth digging deeper into.

Favorite series of Vox

Grew up seeing many of these classic album covers. Always was fascinated by Jazz album covers. So sophisticated. This was a great video. Love this series.

Blue Note and their coverstyle is so iconic that even someone who can barely name 10 jazz artists, like me, instantly recognizes it.

Giant Steps aside, this is the best short visual explanation for so many things related to the acoustics of Western music. I have seen many short videos on this topic. This one is the best. Good job!

These Jazz videos make me so happy thank you

You're absolutely nailing these jazz videos

My love for graphic design is fulfilled by this video. This is making me so happy.

THANKS for increasing my APPRECIATION of Jazz!!!

Keep the jazz videos going. I'm loving it!

That was so . . . eff in . . . awesome. Damn, I'm going to watch it again.

as a jazz fan and graphic designer, this hit me right in the heart

I am *loving* these jazz videos. Looking forward to part three!

Who got the jazz? We've got the jazz.

Can't wait for the next part in the jazz series!

The writing, editing, and graphic design is amazingly well done! And the designer for those covers had a great eye both for representing the music through the design and also in catching people's attention in record store

As a massive Jazz fan, I'm loving these videos. Thanks Vox :) keep them coming.

Those Blue Note covers are at a league of their own. Top-notch photography and inventive art direction all rolled into one.

🙏 Having that level of creativity without graphic design degree, photoshop/creative software or internet is something the young designers cant imagine it possible

This is superbly done! A noble tribute to Blue Note's greatness.

this is great and i want next week's episode now please thank you

I'm really enjoying your series. Thank you.

Earworm has to be the best series on this channel! I love jazz, and seeing my favourite albums on Vox makes me super happy! Keep up the good work, Estelle :)

Now you must acquire a taste for... Freeform Jazz.

I loved your hip-hop and rap videos and now I'm loving your jazz videos too! Keep up the awesome work Estelle Caswell !!

Could watch this for hours. Great stuff.

Wouldn't have lasted ( or Happened) Without the Music 🎶 Mighty Warriors and Artists

That album cover with the exclamation points is so visually pleasing. Well, all of them are, but I like that one in particular.

Thank you Vox for making this video!! I've always wondered why so many jazz covers have such a unique style

It's videos like this that set your channel apart from the rest. Excellent. Thank you.

What a great little story! It inspires me!

these jazz episodes are truly epic

this series about jazz is just so jazzy!!!

gosh these are just fantastic

Thank you so much Vox for doing this. I am eternally inspired.

You have just created one of the best videos on the internet.

I always loved jazz.

One of the best vídeos Ive ever seem in this platform. Maybe the best.

Parts 1 & 2... Fantastic! Well done. I am anxiously awaiting part 3. But of course, take your time with it.

this was so beautiful i watched it twice.

Excellent coverage of a key aspect of Blue Note history and jazz.

So glad Earworm is back!

Enjoying this series! You are hitting it out of the park on each episode. Keep up the great work.

man I love the editing on Vox's videos!

Love this series!

Love this video. Thank you so much!

Can't wait for part three!

Another amazing video. Wish it was longer.

I can live without jazz, but these earworm vids are so brilliant that now I care more about jazz than ever. Excellent work.

Incredible production on this video, Vox. Real treat to watch and listen to.

This is hands down your best video series yet. Very interesting subject from a lot of different angles. Keep up the fantastic work!

Your jazz videos are fantastic. Can't wait for the last one!

Easily the best Vox video ever made

LOVE the focus on jazz lately. keep it up.
