Gene Deitch did many great Jazz illustrations in the 1940s before he became a film animator. He's still alive and well at 84 and still does the occasional Jazz
rendering. His very funny series of cartoons in the old RECORD CHANGER magazine which featured a hyper-die-hard record collector called THE CAT are classics.

In this interview he discusses the world of Jazz record collecting back in the day, the differences of LPs v CDs and other topics.
