Verve

Verve Records, also known as Verve, is a multinational record label that was founded in 1956 by jazz impresario Norman Granz. The label originated from the consolidation of Granz's earlier labels, Norgran Records and Clef Records. In 1960, Verve was sold to MGM Records and became a subsidiary of the company. Throughout the 1960s, Verve expanded its music genres to include comedy, pop, R&B, rock, and folk music.

During this time, Verve had successful jazz recordings from artists such as Stan Getz, Kai Winding, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Smith under the direction of Creed Taylor. In 1972, MGM sold its record division to Polydor which brought Verve into the newly formed PolyGram family of record labels. As a result of this transition, Verve focused primarily on jazz reissues while other non-jazz releases were absorbed into Polydor.

In the late 1980s, PolyGram decided to revive Verve with both reissue programs and new artist signings. This revitalization led to strong sales for both new material and remastered classic recordings. With the merger of PolyGram and Vivendi Universal in 1999 creating Universal Music Group (UMG), Verve Records became part of The Verve Music Group alongside other influential labels such as Blue Note Records and Impulse! Records.

Dubbed 'The First Lady Of Song', Ella Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the US for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums.
Mother of jazz pianist/singer Ray Brown Jr., ex-wife of jazz double-bassist Ray Brown.
Born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, USA, Ella Fitzgerald passed away on June 15, 1996 at the age of 79 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

Back In Stock

The duo that critics have called "a match made in heaven" are in peak form on the sequel to their 1956 debut. Ella's voice—warm and sweet as honey—and Louis' gravelly croon formed a sound built for commercial success. Ella &amp; Louis Again is a key element of what could be considered the most iconic jazz duo of all time.

Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
