Description

Cover artwork for E. Morris' "Forget full (Esquecido)". The page features an illustration of the Jazz-Band Sul Americana Romeu Silva, which performed the piece frequently ("Repertorio Official da Famosa Jazz-Band Sul Americana Romeu Silva") and was involved with arranging this particular version. The musicians are portrayed in a somewhat cartoonish fashion playing their instruments, with musical notes scattering out from them; some of the notes are drawn in a jagged fashion, suggesting that the notes are either blurted out or out of tune with the other members. "dmpdie" or "ampaie" appears in the lower-right corner, possibly indicating the cover's artist.
