Hating Jazz by Andrew S. Berish

From the University of Chicago Press:
Andrew S. Berish’s Hating Jazz listens to the voices who have denounced, disparaged, and mocked the music. By focusing on the rejection of the music, Berish says, we see more holistically jazz’s complicated place in American cultural life.
Brian Chartier designed the punchy and distinctive orange and black cover for the book. Set in Manicotti with slightly-rounded corners, the word “JAZZ” is split onto two lines that occupy nearly the entire book. I love to see it!
Photos of jazz instruments are subtly overlaid atop the bold letterforms, and the word “HATING” is scrawled over the whole thing in handwritten white marker.
The author and subtitle are typeset in Zavier Leslie Cabarga’s BadTyp, set at various point sizes to reinforce its chaotic randomness.
