Founded in 1956 by Norman Granz, Verve was home to Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, and Louis Armstrong. Early covers let the artists speak for themselves: refined typography, intimate photography, and a quiet sense of swing.
From smoky black-and-white portraits to bold, modern abstraction, Verve’s album art has always treated jazz as something you can see. Swipe left to watch 70 years of visual genius unfold.
