Free Music Review: This Is Ella In Her Most Elegant Performances
Hit: 5 Stars
With Nelson Riddle applying his wealth of experience in arranging, conducting and orchestrating to the peerless vocal prowess of the First Lady of Song, there is nothing left to be desired. Everything in this album is totally spic-and-span, flawless, precise and well-executed, simply put, it's utterly sublime!
Known for his most prolific collaboration with the legendary Ol' Blue Eyes, Riddle shows off his consistently superb chart arrangements to its repertoire of fifteen standards. Ella's remarkable interpretations speak of elegance, confidence and gentleness. Here, she is surely in good hands with Riddle who brings out the very best in her. Each song reveals a gentle perfection from the first note to the last. Ella and Nelson have created a gem of an album, "Ella Swings Gently With Nelson," one of the two albums that Ella recorded in Los Angeles in later part of 1961 with Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra under Verve Records originally released in 1962. It was digitally remastered on a CD format and reissued in 1993 with bonus tracks that were not included on the original release.
Ella takes the listeners to a more elegant listening experience with her heart-stoppingly beautiful takes on Ray Noble's "The Very Thought of You" and Robert Mellin and Guy Wood's "My One And Only Love," two stunners and my all-time favorites from this collection. True to the album's concept, she does a swingy yet gentle with scatting-a-plenty rendition of "All of Me."
For fans of Ella, the First Lady of Song, and Nelson Riddle, one of the greatest arrangers/orchestrators America ever produced, this is definitely a welcome addition to your elegantly-decorated vocal jazz collection. Listening to this great CD means taking you back in time when Ella and Nelson were both at the apex of their respective musical careers, so you can't go wrong with this classic recording.
Wholeheartedly recommended for your lovely listening experience.
P.S. A perfect companion to this CD is Ella Swings Brightly with Nelson. Please check it out.
