Swing was a short-lived French jazz record label of the 1930s, and saxophone and clarinet player Alix Combelle and his band appeared on it regularly. The music they played was red hot, but Colin did the design—an extremely rare one at that—in blue. Once more, he used multiple exposure, a most effective graphic ploy. Combelle, born in 1912, was one of the best French disciples of the Black jazz idiom, and he recorded with such American artists as Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, and Lionel Hampton.
