George Sanders

George Sanders est né en 1906 à Saint Petersbourg et mit fin à ses jours en 1972 dans un hôtel au sud de Barcelone. Il interpréta dans plus de cent films un personnage de "délicieux fourbe" "J'étais infect mais jamais grossier. Une espèce de canaille aristocratique." Noël Coward dit de Sanders "Il possède plus de talents que n'importe lequel d'entre nous mais il n'en fait rien." Cette autobiographie publiée en 1960 prouve que l'écriture était aussi l'un de ses talents. Ces mémoires sont à son image celle d'un dandy talentueux doué d'humour et d'ironie sur lui-même. Un livre plaisant.

A brilliant player on both acoustic and electric basses, Stanley Clarke has spent much of his career outside of jazz, although he has the ability to play jazz with the very best. He played accordion as a youth, switching to violin and cello before settling on bass. He worked with R&B and rock bands in high school, but after moving to New York, he worked with Pharoah Sanders in the early '70s. George Duke showed a great deal of promise early in his career as a jazz pianist and keyboardist, but has forsaken that form to be a pop producer.

The Jazz Club series is an attractive addition to the Verve catalogue. With it's modern design and popular choice of repertoire, the Jazz Club is not only opened for Jazz fans, but for everyone that loves good music.
