What's the name of this Blue Note font?

Can anyone out there help me identify the font used on this cover of Poppin'?

It is a Bodoni Poster Italic.

What amazes me is how much they get away with charging for these fonts! $229 for a font? One that was invented back in 1905? Wow.

I am pretty sure that Poster Bodoni wasn't around in 1905. My best guess would be 1930's for Linotype.

I understand your point though.

I think it is important to understand that these characters, whether they were created in the 18th century, or the 20th century, required hundreds of hours of detailed work. Dies were cast, formed into various sizes of metal movable type. At some point in the last thirty-five or so years, these were rendered as vector digital characters, which also required hundreds of hours of detailed work.

Fonts are intellectual property. $29 is not much to ask, in my opinion.
