For jazz lovers and vinyl collectors alike, this release is a celebration in itself: 35 expertly selected classics from Verve\u0026#039;s rich catalog, recorded between 1944 and 1960 - the years during which the legendary producer Norman Granz owned and shaped the label. From vocal legends Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Anita O\u0026#039;Day, Mel Tormé, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire to swinging jazz giants such as Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Charlie \u0026#34;Bird\u0026#34; Parker, Oscar Peterson and Milt Jackson, and even Verve\u0026#039;s successful ventures beyond jazz with Beat poet Jack Kerouac and stand-up comedians Mort Sahl, Jonathan Winters and Shelley Berman, these four LPs revive a remarkable sonic world that helped shape not only jazz but the entire American music industry. All tracks have been meticulously remastered. The set includes four 140g LPs in individual sleeves, housed in a sturdy two-piece lift off box featuring Verve\u0026#039;s iconic period design, plus a large-format twelve-page booklet with liner notes and fascinating track-by-track commentary by Tad Hershorn, author of \u0026#34;Norman Granz: The Man Who Used Jazz for Justice\u0026#34;.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eLP 1\u003cbr \/\u003eSide 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz at the Philharmonic — Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColeman Hawkins — Picasso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOscar Peterson — Tenderly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBud Powell — Like Someone in Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCount Basie and His Orchestra — New Basie Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny Hodges — Castle Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndre’s All Stars — Con Poco Coco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLionel Hampton and Stan Getz — Louise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP 2\u003cbr \/\u003eSide 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLester Young and Teddy Wilson — Taking a Chance on Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe JATP Quintet — Easy Living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenny Carter — Flamingo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElla Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong — You Won’t Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt Tatum — I’ll Never Be the Same\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Eldridge — Dale’s Wail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt — On the Sunny Side of the Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLionel Hampton — That Old Black Magic, Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Modern Jazz Quartet — D \u0026amp; E Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP 3\u003cbr \/\u003eSide 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Parker — Laura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJam Session #1 — Ballad Medley: All the Things You Are\/Dearly Beloved\/The Nearness of You\/I’ll Get By\/Everything Happens to Me\/The Man I Love\/What’s New?\/Someone to Watch Over Me\/Isn’t It Romantic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Kerouac — The Subterraneans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMort Sahl — The Future Lies Ahead — excerpt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJonathan Winters — Football Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelley Berman — Department Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP 4\u003cbr \/\u003eSide 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCount Basie and Joe Williams — Thou Swell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpike Jones and His City Slickers — Cocktails for Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRose Murphy — You Were Meant for Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddy Rich — Can’t We Be Friends?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody Herman — I Guess I’ll Have to Change My Plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMargaret Whiting — Why Was I Born?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMel Tormé — On the Street Where You Live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnita O’Day — Lullaby of the Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBing Crosby and Buddy Bregman — Blue Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillie Holiday — I Thought About You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElla Fitzgerald — Chelsea Bridge — rehearsal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFred Astaire — No Strings (I\u0026#039;m Fancy Free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":58428536619395,"sku":"524290000","price":109.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/2417\/5395\/files\/Various-Artists_Verve-Records-The-Sound-of-America_4LP-Box_s524290_o8215168_a651296_v13948715.681ba3e6.png?v=1783604156","url":"https:\/\/thecircle.de\/en\/products\/various-artists-verve-records-the-sound-of-america-119444","provider":"The Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
