Can anyone remember the names of some cartoon shorts made in the 50/60's they depicted music as colours, shapes notes ,etc.

I think they were by warners but for the life of me I can't remember who made them.

Any pointers

Do you mean cartoon shorts? The opening segment of Fantasia did something like this.

Nah they were standalone, one was quite jazzy, the other used classical they could even have been MGM, they were kinda a precursor to the saul bass style

Canada's Norman Mclaren did some jazzy freestyle animations to music in that era... most of them are considered classics.
