Orson Welles, de kunstenaar en zijn schaduw #[nn]

There's something immediately arresting about Youssef Daoudi's cover for this 2025 Concerto Books release — a sharply rendered figure in a dark suit, arms outstretched mid-motion, with a small butterfly drifting just beyond his fingertips, all rendered in Daoudi's striking black-and-tan linework. The subtitle "Thelonious, Pannonica, and the Friendship Behind a Musical Revolution" signals that this graphic work digs into the human connections driving one of jazz's most remarkable eras. Poet Saul Williams's pull quote — "Here is the book I never knew I was waiting for" — sets the tone perfectly for what looks like a deeply felt, beautifully drawn exploration of artistic life.
