Esquire Cover Club foyer
Welcome to Esquire Cover Club, the EFG London Jazz Festival's digital exhibition for 2020.
We delve into the rich history of Esquire Records and the special relationship between art, jazz, and the people behind the curtain.
Tour our exhibition to view the beautiful art and design that led UK and US audiences into the developing jazz scene of the 50s and 60s, plus hear stories from the artists involved and the collectors that lovingly followed the journey of jazz.
