Verve爵士創辦人為從經紀人起家的諾曼•葛蘭茲，他先於四０年代創辦「爵士走進愛樂廳（Jazz At The Philharmonic）」系列音樂會，提供傳統及新進爵士音樂家具開拓性的機會和舞台，廠牌Clef、Norgran也應運而生，而至1956年為首席女伶Ella Fitzgerald艾拉•費茲潔拉創立的Verve神韻唱片更是獲得了爵士錄音市場上之前所未有的銷售佳績，成為美國當代人聲爵士以及保有傳統搖擺抒情風韻演奏最具代表性的標竿唱片公司。本經典60年紀念套裝典藏自Verve神韻唱片的前身開始、在至今超過一甲子的輝煌歷史中選出了100首各具意義的經典暢銷單曲之最，其中不乏早已絕版多時的珍貴錄音史料之聲。 其中“Perdido"可充分感受JATP時期群星豪華競演的絕代風華，令人悠然神往；搖擺樂三大薩克斯風手李斯特•楊、柯曼•霍金斯、班•韋伯斯特分別以饒富個人魅力的詮釋吹出一段又一段的甜美音符；“Bloomdido"則是另外三位巨匠菜鳥•帕克、迪吉•葛拉斯彼與泰隆尼斯•孟克傾注無限熱情的咆勃精華；份量最重的莫過於費茲潔拉以美國當代流行作曲家為題的『經典歌曲集』系列，透過其不論在大樂團或小編制裡皆動靜得宜的婉轉嗓音和高超的即興演唱技巧，為歌曲鍍上永恆典雅的精緻印記，幾乎每首都是公認的終極決定版本。 其他名演還包括樹立現代爵士三重奏典範的天才鋼琴家奧斯卡•彼德生、以一曲“The Girl From Ipanema"引領芭莎諾瓦新浪潮並榮獲葛萊美獎肯定的史坦•蓋茲及新生代爵士天后Verve 當家女伶-Diana Krall戴安娜•克瑞兒的暢銷作品“The Look Of Love"等應有盡有，再搭配48頁全彩精美手冊及豐富完整解說，一次一覽60年爵士風華的豐富之旅！ |
