The Quartette Très Bien – Bully! album art
The Quartette Très Bien was a jazz combo based in St. Louis, Missouri, led by pianist Jeter Thompson (1930–2017). The cover of their 1966 album Bully! was designed by Loring Eutemey. He combined two related typefaces by the same designer: the title is in the medium width of Benguiat Buffalo. The group’s name above features Benguiat Zenedipity. Buffalo had a non-rounded companion named Serendipity. Zenedipity appears to be a spinoff of Serendipity, with flared bottom halves. Eutemey worked with both Buffalo and Zenedipity for several other record covers, too.
In memory of Ed Benguiat, jazz drummer and type designer extraordinaire, who passed away on this day two years ago.
The text on the back cover with the track list, credits, and the liner notes by Bob Rolontz is set in Anzeigen-Grotesk and News Gothic.
