Jazz at Lincoln Center-Rock Chalk Suite
It’s been said that basketball is like jazz—but Rock Chalk Suite takes the comparison to another level entirely.

The objective was to establish a distinct visual identity for NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s foray into the music industry. Moving away from the standard court-side persona, the goal was to capture an introspective, cinematic aesthetic that matched the ambition of his debut studio album, Visions.
