Written on May 12, 2002 Summary: Can't Get Enough Ella I've been a fan of Ella's music for about 10 years now, and I found this CD to be a great "taste-test" sampler. A little bit of everything. I especially enjoyed the live recordings. There simply is no female vocalist alive today that can compare with this incredibly talented lady. She makes it sound so easy...when it was so very difficult. The mark of a true artist. Written on November 1, 2001 Summary: The only Ella Fitzgerald recording you will ever need! From the first note to the last, this compilation just gets better. It includes all of the signature songs that make Ella so fondly remebered. I have never enjoyed any recording as much as this one. By far the best! Written on July 26, 2001 Summary: Pure Perfection I discovered Ella in a very round about way. From a TV commercial. I can't even remember which one it was now, but one of her recordings was featured. I was instantly amazed by her voice and HAD to find out who the singer was. As soon as I did I ran out to get a collection of her work. Luckily for me I came across this CD. The woman is incredible! Pure perfection! I'm amazed every time I listen to this collection, which is quite often. A smile spreads across my face that just won't go away until the last note fades away. Even then, songs like Mister Paganini, A Tisket, A Tasket, Mack the Knife, How High The Moon, and Take the "A" Train stay locked my mind for eternity. What a God send she is. I'm so glad to have found this sanctuary that is Ella Fitzgerald. If you're not familiar with her work, pick this up immediately. Are there more complete collections than this one? Sure. But this is a great introduction to her amazing, prolific career and even includes collaborations with Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. How could you go wrong with a line up like that? Don't miss out on this collection! Written on July 23, 2001 Summary: This one AND Ken Burns' Jazz make a great into to Ella It's difficult to choose between this collection of Ella Fitzgerald's work and the collection Ken Burns issued along with Jazz. While there's some overlap between the two, the Burns' CD covers a wider sweep of her career - from her mid-thirties version of A-Tisket A-Tasket (the version here was recorded live in 1961) to the late sixties. Everything on here was recorded sometime between the late fifties and early sixties - prime Ella Fitzgerald, but it's a shame to miss out on the early stuff. Still, if I really HAD to limit myself to only one Ella Fitzgerald CD, it would have to be this one. Burns doesn't include her duets with Louis Armstrong on "They Can't Take That Away From Me," and "Summertime," and there isn't any music ever made that is more breathtaking than Fitzgerald and Armstrong together. Their honey and sandpaper voices play off each other in a way that defies description. And I'd nominate their version of "Summertime" as the best single recording ever made. I can't hear it too many times. If you don't own a copy of it, there's a big hole in your record collection - no, make that a big hole in your LIFE -that you must repair immediately. Also, while the Burns' CD shows off Ella's gorgeous voice and glorious scatting (Ella's scatting is a cure for anything that ails you), I think he shortchanges her ballad work. "Misty" and "My Funny Valentine" ought to be on any intro to Ella Fitzgerald. The thing to remember about any introduction to Ella Fitzgerald, though, is that it's just an appetizer - something to hold you until you save up enough money for the complete works. Until you do, this is a really fine collection. Written on December 28, 2000 Summary: Possibly the best vocalist ever I think Ella sang it best, "I bet these people wonder what I'm singing. Believe it or not, it's still 'How High the Moon.'" This delightful bit of improvisation comes after a long scat session on the 7-minute+ version of the song. I'm sure other Ella Fitzgerald albums are great, but you are cheating yourself if you buy one with a shortened version of "How High the Moon." And that's just one of the many high points of this CD. My grandparents would look at me, astonished, and say, "We used to listen to this!" But, it's not that surprising if you think about it. Ella's music is timeless. It never goes out of style. It never becomes boring. It never is anything less than awe-inspiring. This is probably the best collection of Ella Fitzgerald songs outside of massive (and massively expensive) boxed sets. From start to finish, it is classic and "classic Ella." From her signature tune, "A-Tisket A-Tasket," to her duet with Louis Armstrong of "They Can't Take That Away from Me," from "Mack the Knife" to "Lady Be Good," this is a fabulous CD that is pure, classic Ella. |
