Biography

Of all the critiques that have been written about Ella Fitzgerald, East Coast music critic Tony Mastrianni’s perhaps best defined her very special song stylings. “In the case of Ella Fitzgerald you have something unique. There continues to be no one like her, no one who uses a voice so completely like a musical instrument. . . . She can stray from the melody, sing around it, and over and under it,… Read more in Amazon's Ella Fitzgerald Store

By C. FULLER TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This 3 CD slim line set presents 57 of the Gershwin's finest compositions sung by the finest of 20th century interpreters of the popular song, Ella Fitzgerald. Now you have another chance thanks to Not Now to decide whether to purchase these classic recordings with Nelson Riddle that date from 1959 and that were produced by Norman Granz. The original recordings were on the Verve label.

This brand new set from Not Now has a total running time of approx 199 minutes and has 2 additional songs "Somebody Loves Me" & "Cheerful Little Earful" plus great sound quality too. I never tire of hearing the Gershwin songbook and I think it is my favourite of all those recorded by Ella Fitzgerald. The orchestrations are excellent and to have such a definitive set now available because of the public domain laws is something quite special. The liner notes are by Michael Heatley and the compilation was produced by Glenn Gretlund. The whole set looks classy and is a great addition to the other Ella Songbooks they have already released.

This record is unbelievable value for money....it is simply, in a word, superb, What a combination, George and Ira Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald,and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, The "Songbook" series of recordings that Ella made have gone down in musical history as some of the greatest interpretations of the modern song ever recorded as this particular one is a gem! a must buy for anyone out there who appreciates the best. Thank you Ella for so many years of wonderful memories. Peter and Phyllis Davey.

Once again a superb release of Ella's songbook collection,she is in a class of her own, like Frank Sinatra & Peggy Lee she makes songs her own with that wonderful ability that she is singing just for you....The Gershwins stand out as possibly along with Cole Porter the greatest composers of popular music for the 20th Century and Ella made these wonderful tunes her own,she glides, swoops & "Scats" (as only she can)through this wonderfully remastered set of CD's,a must for any lover of Swing come Jazz interpratations of some of the greatest songs ever written,I have all 3 sets and recommend you go buy this now,thanks for the Music Ella you are sorely missed....Sweet Dreams..D.S.
