Verve, 2026

Produttore discografico indipendente fin dai primi anni '40, Norman Granz iniziò a costruire una rete personale di case discografiche, disco dopo disco, artista dopo artista, innovazione dopo innovazione, che crebbe fino a diventare uno tsunami quando vendette la Verve Records alla fine del 1960. Un'impresa che rimane ineguagliata ancora oggi.


Questo cofanetto celebra l'affascinante spettro di registrazioni realizzate durante l'era di Norman Granz alla Verve Records. Include brani vocali di Ella Fitzgerald e Billie Holiday; Charlie Parker con archi; una scatenata jam session dal vivo; poesie beatnik di Jack Kerouac e uno spettacolo di cabaret.
