Nina Simone “Little Girl Blue” - Postal Service Remix
Billie Holiday “Speak Low” - Bent Remix

Billie Holiday “Yesterdays” - Junior Boys Remix
Dinah Washington “Baby, Did You Hear?” - Danger Mouse Remix

"I'm very excited about Verve Remixed 3,” says co-producer and Verve Music Group A&R Director Dahlia Ambach Caplin. "The opportunity to make another record working with the Verve vocal catalogue, which continually yields gems that inspire the artists and producers to create such special collaborations, combined with all the things we learned from working on the previous albums, allowed us to make a record we’re very proud of." “Verve Remixed 3 is a testament to the talents we worked with" says co-producer Todd Roberts. "They each transcended the idea of a remix by digging deep into the spirit of the original songs.”

Verve Remixed 3 follows in the hallowed footsteps of its groundbreaking predecessors Verve Remixed (2002) and Verve Remixed 2 (2003). Those acclaimed collections featured the likes of Thievery Corporation, Tricky, DJ Spinna, and Felix Da Housecat reinterpreting works from the legendary artists of jazz such as Astrud Gilberto, Billie Holiday, Betty Carter, and Nina Simone, respectively. Combined, the two previous Verve Remixed releases have sold over a half-million units.

Verve Remixed 3 will be available on CD and as a triple-vinyl LP.

Performing and recording in different settings collaborating with DJ/producers, turntablists, acoustic jazz artists, Japanese Kagura, and the world of Latin rhythms, Mark has become a major figure in the nu-jazz movement.
