One of the most prestigious labels in the history of jazz, Verve Records celebrated its 60th anniversary throughout 2016 with a trove of historic reissues and stunning new collections from its legendary archives. Verve was founded in 1956 by Norman Granz, the forward-thinking impresario responsible for the hugely popular Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts, which brought the music to new audiences and garnered jazz an unprecedented level of respect in the popular culture. Under the visionary leadership of Granz and later Creed Taylor (after MGM purchased the imprint in 1961), Verve continued to set new trends. This mix was aired on www.nessradio.com
