Free Music Notes for The Best of the Song Books
Free Music Review: Truly the best
Hit: 5 Stars
I've listened to the other songbooks and this CD is the only one I can listen to without skipping around. I loved this CD from the first time I heard it. Ella Fitzgerald has one of the best singing voices I've ever heard and I never get tired of this album. I've had it for about ten years and it's still one of the CD's I play the most.
The Best of the Song Books Poster
Trying to cull a single-CD "Best of" from the 16-CD set of The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books may seem like a daunting task, but it's also foolproof. The complete set is a monument to the century's greatest songs and, arguably, its greatest singer, and this selection is a series of gems programmed to simulate a Fitzgerald performance, carefully sequencing joyous uptempo swingers and moving ballads. Recorded between 1956 and 1964, Fitzgerald's finest years, the CD includes arrangements by Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Buddy Bregman, as well as a superb rendering of "I've Got It Bad" with the Ellington orchestra and Johnny Hodges. Balancing the orchestral settings are some intimate small-group performances, including a witty rendition of Cole Porter's "Miss Otis Regrets" and Rodgers and Hart's "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." This is an ideal introduction to the "Song Books," a selection so good it will appeal to owners of the box sets. --Stuart BroomerJazz Music CDs
