The Verve Story Part Two

The Verve Story Part Two. In part two we'll hear tracks recorded between 1952-1955 released on various labels before Norman Granz decided on Verve being the label to carry his highly influential performers. All these tracks come from an amazing 4CD set released in 1994 to commemorate 50 years of Norman Granz's recordings.
