Original concert poster for a Foundation-presented double bill featuring indie rock legends Yo La Tengo and jazz ensemble Sam Rivers Trio, dated Tuesday January 30th, 2007. Doors at 7PM, admission twenty dollars, 18+ event. The poster is a striking screenprint on heavy black stock, featuring three large dark roses rendered in a moody blue-grey halftone with teal-green leaf accents — a dramatically minimal floral design that contrasts beautifully against the near-black background. Typography is set in an elegant serif face in a muted silver-grey, lending the piece a sophisticated, understated quality rare in gig poster design. The close-up detail shots clearly reveal the halftone dot pattern characteristic of quality screenprint production, and the use of at least two ink colours (blue-grey and teal). The bottom right corner features what appears to be a handwritten edition number or artist mark, suggesting this is a numbered print from a limited run. The combination of Yo La Tengo — beloved for their genre-blending indie output — with the avant-garde jazz credibility of Sam Rivers Trio makes this an unusually cross-genre collectible, appealing to both indie rock and jazz poster collectors. A visually cohesive and artistically accomplished piece from the mid-2000s American gig poster golden era.
No visible tears, folds, or pinholes evident in the photos. Paper appears clean and flat. Minor handling marks cannot be fully ruled out but none are visible in the detail shots provided.
