Nobody sings the Great American Songbook quite like Ella, forget Rod, Ella was the Fella!! As Frank Sinatra was heard to say Ella Fitzgerald is as good a musician and vocalist as anyone is going to hear for the next one hundred years Approaching 40, Ella signed to Norman Granzs Verve label and began a series of recordings featuring some of the greatest names in 20th century songwriting. Known as the Songbook series, the AVID Essential series is proud to present a selection from some of these classic recordings. We feature all of Ellas work performing the songs of Rodgers and Hart plus two songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein as a breather before concluding with nine songs from George & Ira Gershwin. What more could you want from a double re-mastered CD, the sound of one of the great American female voices singing some of the greatest American songs. And if you like what you hear, theres plenty more where they came from, so look out for volume 2 coming soon to a store near you!!
