This map was designed by Vladimiro Lupi in 1984 (his signature can also be found on the band’s drum kit in St. Louis) shows an infographic that allows us to follow the genesis of Jazz from its initial idea in the late 1800s to the 1960s through the various contaminations, variants and styles according to the zones and schools of the various geographical areas. This is a proof, partially coloured by the author, for a poster of which no definitive draft or serial publication is known. Vladimiro Lupi used the illustration of the trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross (here positioned near the West Coast in Nevada) for the cover of his book ‘Vocal groups in modern jazz vocalese – history discography – biographies’ published in Ferrara in 1986.
