A Night Out With Verve
: :This bargain-priced four-CD set presents itself as easy, event-based listening, with the CDs individually titled 'Wining,' 'Dining,' 'Dancing,' and 'Romancing.' A glimpse at the track list and personnel, however, immediately reveals that, much more than 'easy listening,' it's an extraordinary collection of jazz performances culled from the Verve archives and including material from the label's classic and recent periods, as well as from subsidiary labels. The selection has been made with remarkable thoughtfulness, pulling out tracks that may surprise even veteran listeners. John Coltrane plays 'You're a Weaver of Dreams' with ...

Judy

And, amid her legacy, the tales of her weaknesses, and the Technicolor memories that only can time can bring, we tend to forget what actually made Judy so great. Here's what made her so great: a repertoire that spans genres, from jazz to show tunes to 'Old Man River'; her cool vocals on 'Come Rain or Come Shine'; and the clarity of her voice on 'Zing!

The Complete Billie Holiday On Verve, 1945-1959
: :That's right: Ten CDs with everything Billie Holiday recorded on Verve Records between 1945 and her death in 1959--not only the songs, but concert introductions, some of the rehearsals, and between-take studio chatter, too. All of which makes for a definitive portrait of Lady Day in her final years. For a long time these recordings were disparaged because it was said her voice was no longer fine and mellow, 'ravaged' by hard living, jail time, booze, and drugs. And there's no question that her later tone is darker, more brittle and ...
