Various Artists - Always Hip: Verve At 70

'Always Hip: Verve at 70 celebrates seven decades of Verve by bringing together an extraordinary multigenerational cast to reimagine its music. Today’s jazz masters – including Buster Williams, Jabali Billy Hart, Ron Carter, Monty Alexander, Rufus Reid, and Lenny White – reinterpret compositions originally recorded on Verve.
