At the height of his career, Norman Granz was one of the most powerful non-musicians in jazz. He always fought for the music he believed in (having a love for freewheeling jam sessions), for his artists (whom he accurately considered to be among the greatest in the world), and against racism, forcing many hotels and concert venues to become integrated in the 1940s and '50s. His early claim to fame was organizing Jazz at the Philharmonic, an all-star jam session in Los Angeles that he took on domestic and eventually world-wide tours. Granz often recorded the performances, and founded several major jazz labels: Clef (1946), Norgran (1953), Verve (1956), and Pablo (1973). In addition to his work as a record-company head and a concert promoter, Granz spent time managing the careers of Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Oscar Peterson.
