The concept was bold yet beautifully executed: legendary Verve recordings from artists such as Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday reimagined by a new wave of producers including Masters at Work, Thievery Corporation, and Tricky. Instead of diluting the originals, the remixes amplify their timelessness, framing iconic voices with deep house, downtempo, trip-hop, and broken beat grooves.

The result is a dialogue between eras — smoky jazz standards woven into modern club textures — that introduced a new generation to the richness of Verve’s catalog while giving DJs and selectors a set of floor-ready weapons. "Verve // Remixed" remains a benchmark compilation that blurred boundaries and expanded the vocabulary of both jazz and electronic music.
