How the music of smoky clubs became the sound of America
2013
Overview
Two extraordinary mavericks changed the face of jazz in the 1940s. Saxophonist Charlie Parker changed the way it was played and entrepreneur Norman Granz changed the way it was sold. Parker was the music revolutionary who ushered in a new era of jazz called bebop, while Granz took jazz out of the smoky jazz clubs and dives and put it on to the concert stage. In 1955 Granz formed Verve Records to consolidate his recording activities under one label and promote one artist in particular: Ella Fitzgerald. The label got off to a flying start with \"Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook\", one of the best-selling albums of 1956, and quickly became one of the best-known labels for both jazz and popular music.
