The composition presents a dynamic collage of illustrated portraits in a sketch-like caricature style. The design uses a warm palette of yellow, gold, and red with bold black ink outlines and a cream background with horizontal yellow striping along the lower section.

The artwork pays tribute to major figures of the swing and jazz era including Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Chick Webb, Benny Goodman, Tito Puente, and Celia Cruz. The layout also references key Harlem music landmarks including the Apollo Theater and the Savoy Ballroom, arranged as part of a narrative history of jazz culture. See less
