Robert Montgomery’s Pousse Cafe in early use for a compilation album with eight rare recordings of jazz and swing music by Barney Bigard & Orchestra, Albert Nicholas, Bernard Addison & His Rhythm a.k.a. Freddie Jenkins & His Harlem Seven, and The Little Ramblers, released in 1969 by RCA Victor in their Vintage Series.

The typeface’s “plywood” layers inspired the uncredited designer to apply a similar effect to the silhouettes of the two titular clarinetists.
