Miles Davis's 1970 double album Bitches Brew was a kick in the teeth to Jazz purists of the time with its electric instrumentation and more "rock" sound. An album that different needed a cover to match the sound within. That's where artist Mati Klarwein came in. Born in Hamburg Germany Mati's family fled their home for Palestine to get away from growing Nazi threat. From their he traveled to Tibet, France, India, North Africa, Turkey and Bali truly becoming a citizen of the world. Finlay in the early sixties he settled down in New York City. Mati's art has been described as Surrealism and Pop Art and also has been influenced by Psychedelic art.
