This is a collection of all of Gene Deitch's art that appeared in "The Record Changer", the jazz magazine devoted to traditional jazz in the 1940s and '50s. Also included are all of Deitch's covers that graced the magazine from 1945 to 1950, which display his stylistic variety and graphic virtuosity, as well as his gorgeous black-and-white cartoon panels starring the Cat, Deitch's living send-up of the purist jazz aficionado.
