Format:Audio CD
This 3 CD set is sure to find favour containing as it does 2 complete songbooks, Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington. Recorded in 1958 and 1957 these have been continually popular since their original release. The Irving Berlin album has Paul Weston conducting and the Duke Ellington songbook has Duke Ellington in command. I suspect that it is the Duke Ellington set that will make this an instant must have. The sound quality is excellent throughout and with 2 huge songbooks we are talking of an equally huge running time of almost 240 minutes. Interestingly if you want to purchase the Ellington Songbook it will cost at least twice the price alone, making this very good value indeed. As with all the Not Now 3CD sets they are now slim line packaged and this one includes orchestral credits, dates and liner notes by Michael Heatley. Look out for other Ella Fitzgerald releases on Not Now.

Read the other reviews and thought they must be exaggerated. I was very pleasantly surprised to find they were'nt. Well remastered these CDs are worth many times the asking price.

Irving Berlin was a songwriter first and foremost, supplying other people with songs for them to record. He was not a success as a performer, though he had an American hit with a novelty song that I've never heard of in 1910. That song has obviously not stood the test of time, but plenty of his songs have done so.
Ella recorded 31 of Irving Berlin's songs for her songbook collection. The obvious omission is White Christmas, but she recorded that for a Christmas album and I'm comfortable about its omission here. Although I listen to Christmas music at any time of year for reviewing purposes, I think it works best when kept separate from other music. Some of the songs were intended for male singers and Ella made no attempt to adapt the lyrics, but I can live with that. There are many classic songs here including Let's face the music and dance, Let yourself go, Putting on the Ritz, Alexander's ragtime band, Cheek to cheek, Always, It's a lovely day today and I've got my love to keep me warm. Plenty of other people have recorded these songs but suffice to say that Ella's versions are every bit as good as I expected them to be and are therefore among the best. You are likely to recognize at least some of the songs I haven't mentioned, but Ella took the opportunity to record some less obvious songs.
By contrast, Duke Ellington was a jazz musician and band leader. He wrote songs for his own band to record, though he was happy enough for other people to cover the. He may even have written some songs for other people that he didn't record himself, as the Beatles did in the sixties, but I can't confirm that. In any event, he was very successful at what he did and some of his songs have remained popular, but purely in terms of songwriting, Irving Berlin's songbook is stronger overall.
Ella recorded 35 of Duke Ellington's songs for her songbook collection. Being a jazz singer herself, Ella was the perfect singer to record the Duke's songs, so her versions of these songs may regarded as the definitive covers. Some of the songs were originally instrumentals while others featured Ivie Anderson as vocalist. Being a fan of Ivie's music too, I am not going to set one off against the other. If I really looked into it, I'd probably conclude that Ivie's originals were sometimes better than Ella's versions here, with Ella`s versions of other songs being better than Ivie`s. The Duke participated in Ella's recordings by playing piano on half the tracks. Dizzy Gillespie also contributed his skills as a trumpeter. To those not especially familiar with the Duke's music, the more familiar tracks here include I'm beginning to see the light (which Ella had previously recorded with the Ink Spots), Don't get around much anymore, It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing and I got it bad. Ella lets her jazz roots show with plenty of scat singing, which she did not do on her other songbook albums.
Two great but very different songbook collections make this an entertaining set.
