Jumpin' Jive by Joe Jackson

Apparently the cover of the album was inspired by the cover of another album (by someone else, obviously). Any ideas?

The music was inspired by Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway - so you might try them, but they were artists from a period before much design went into album covers, weren't they?

Thanks for that - I'll check them out. The Jumpin' Jive sleeve itself has the look of a young Frank Sinatra, but I've yet to find a suitable sleeve that might have inspired him.
