In 1958, I decided that I was going to live in Europe permanently. So in 1959 I moved to Lugano, Switzerland.
From Norman Granz
Jazz was uplifted by what I did.
My function at Verve was that of a genuine producer in artists and repertoire.
The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.
The record companies are interested in the kind of sales they can get from the rock groups.
When I was doing jazz concerts in America, I would use the biggest names I could find.
