VOLUME 1 of The Clef/Verve Labels is subtitled "The Norman Granz Era."

Granz, through his "Jazz at the Philharmonic" concert series and recordings ( PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE, ON EBAY, FOR MY SALE OF THE LAST COPIES OF A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY INFORMATIVE JAZZ AT THE PHILHARMONIC, NORMAN GRANZ AND DAVID STONE MARTIN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE, IT WILL NEVER BE REPRINTED!! ), had considerable impact in bringing jazz to a wider public and boosting the careers of some of the most famous jazz musicians of the time.

VOLUME 2, subtitled "The MGM Era," is devoted to sessions done for the Verve label from its purchase by MGM in 1961 until the last sessions in 1973. During this period Verve expanded its catalog to include recordings of jazz, Bossa Nova, folk music, and rock and pop groups. Artists such as Stan Getz, Wes Montgomery, the Mothers of Invention, Astrid Gilberto, and the Righteous Brothers were featured. Volume 1 covers early Clef sessions (1944-1949), Clef/Norgran sessions (1950-1956), Verve sessions (1955-1961), and leased and purchased sessions.
