Deep Cuts #3

Set against the neon-soaked atmosphere of Kansas City, 1940, this third chapter of Image's Deep Cuts announces its story — "K.C. Blues" — with a cover that's as moody and layered as a late-night jazz session. A young woman peers through a magnifying glass in the foreground, her investigative gaze drawing you in, while a towering, jubilant double-bass player fills the background in rich purples and pinks, surrounded by swirling vinyl grooves and glimpses of a quiet neighborhood street. Kyle Higgins, Joe Clark, Helena Masellis, Igor Monti, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are crafting something that feels genuinely cinematic — a mystery steeped in music history and period atmosphere.
