Roots & Herbs is an album by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, recorded in 1961 at the same sessions as The Freedom Rider, but not released until 1970, on the Blue Note label.
The typeface is Milton Glaser’s Baby Teeth, featuring an ampersand that’s different from the one in the original photostat design and also the one in Letraset’s adaptation. Chances are it’s the one included in Photo-Lettering’s version.
