Description:
A 2-CD compilation released to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Verve Records, led by Norman Granz ● This compilation celebrates the many captivating recordings made during the Norman Granz era at Verve Records, featuring vocal tracks by Ella, Billy, Louis, Anita O’Day, Mel Tormé, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, as well as a succession of renowned musicians brimming with swing, including Basie, Hamp, Bird, Oscar Peterson, and Milt Jackson. This alone would make it a superb collection, but it doesn’t stop there: J.J. Johnson, Nat “King” Cole, Coleman Hawkins, Bud Powell, Stan Getz, Lester Young, Art Tatum, Roy Eldridge, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, and Buddy Rich. Plus, a raucous live jam session featuring Charlie Shavers, Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, Charlie Parker, Flip Phillips, Ben Webster, Oscar Peterson, Bernie Kessel, Ray Brown, and J.C. Hard. …And more—from Beatnik poetry by Jack Kerouac to stand-up comedy by Mort Sahl, Jonathan Winters, and Shelley Berman—this rich collection makes it clear that Granz didn’t limit himself to jazz alone, but expanded his scope by producing his first live comedy album! ● The booklet features a truly excellent essay on the history of Verve Records’ founding, as well as fascinating repertoire notes by Tad Harshon, author of *Norman Granz: Th*. ● Although Granz established the label primarily as a base of operations for Ella Fitzgerald, as someone who championed his artists more passionately than anyone else, he viewed Verve as a venture on which he staked his reputation to expand the stage from which his artists could reach the world, and From its inception, Verve held a top-tier position among independent jazz labels. *Verve Records: The Sound of America* reveals why.
