Four Faces of Jazz - Bernard Herrmann Conducting
When there were less composing commitments in the end of the sixties and beginning seventies, Bernard Herrmann recorded several albums for Decca. These included re-recordings of his film scores, premieres by his classical works and even some classical music by other composers.
Among the last group was "Four Faces of Jazz" from 1973, which has four great jazz compositions by Stravinsky, Milhaud and others:

Bernard Herrmann conducts The London Festival Recording Ensemble on this album containing four intriguing orchestral arrangements - each a different face of the jazz genre. Known as Alfred Hitchcock's favorite composer, Herrmann wields the baton on famous jazz compositions of Darius Milhaud, Kurt Weill, George Gershwin, and Igor Stravinsky. The Four Faces Of Jazz was produced by Raymond Few in 1973 and released on London Records.

Sorry for the cover link, but it copied this just from the Avax site.
For myself I only downloaded the music, so I didn't notice that it isn't active anymore.
Therefore I don't have the cover for myself and can't be of help.
Again, sorry.
