Interesting. The only woman on a Patton cover that I seem to see as white is on "Got a Good Thing Goin'" and I could be convinced that was not a white woman as well if my arm were twisted and I saw stars. . . . 

"That Certain Feeling". . . I would see no reason to change that cover. That model reminds me of my childhood neighbor and often babysitter Iona Harris, who I thought was one of the most beautiful gals in the world at the time, and she was not a "white woman."

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post

The passage is in this thesis here, just search for "white woman"

It says clearly that Patton was offended by the cover of That Certain Feeling...(It's even implied that the cover made him so bitter he left the music scene for a while)

Okay, thanks. That's sad. That does not look like a white woman to me. As I say looks eerily like my African American young neighbor in Philadelphia '57 to '66.

I've been wondering whether the thesis is a bit inaccurate here and Patton would have been offended by any woman on his album cover regardless of color... That would be more consistent with what I know about islam

That's a point to ponder.

Groove Holmes had no problem having women on his covers.

Bunny Berigan And His Orchestra “1937” Chronogical Classics cd

 

 

Bunny was a great trumpeter and kept an orchestra longer than some other instrumental leaders. Fun stuff, I like listening to the studio sides. Sometime soon I should pull a handful of aircheck LPs I have out of storage for a re-listen.

Almost late 60's Aylerish at times, great record!

Just editing to wonder where would Jackie could've gone? I imagine he'd be full-blown out there by '69. So wish to hear that rejected BN session from 68. Alas....

Bunny must be in the air--the Berigan Mosaic has been on my revisit list of late.

Really? She's cute, probally oceania, don't understand this at all however. Even Muslim men have relations with white women. 

Now, and tired this hasn't been made more available.

I don't know much about the Black Muslim organization Patton was a part of and the thesis is also not very precise on what exactly offended him... But, in the broader picture, there are Islamic traditions prohibiting pictures of all living things... Even though interacting with living things is completely ok... And practice looks more complex a lot of the time
