In a joyful riot of blue, pink, and yellow tones, LeRoy Neiman focuses on a jazz band mid-performance in a composition that underscores the individual personality and style of each musician. This was Kool’s second year as the primary sponsor of the event. It is interesting that the brand allowed its name to be incorporated into the typeface of the rest of the title, leaving behind its signature sans-serif green-and-white logo. The 1982 festival was a remarkable success, with performances by Benny Goodman, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Mel Tormé, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, and Lionel Hampton drawing unusually large crowds.
