Customer Reviews

Absolutely Fantastic!5
This two-CD set (the case comes in a nice sleeve) had got to be the best value around. Most people would be happy with the music here if they had paid £10 or £12, so imagine your delight at having got it for £2.98. There is almost three full hours of the one and only Ella Fitzgerald singing timeless American songs in her own inimitable style. It is truly wonderful music. Buy one and get another (or two) for Christmas gifts!

The One and Only Ella Fitzgerald5
Ella at her best - every track is brilliant and should be heard over and over again !!!. Wonderful value for money. Buy it - you will not be disappointed !!!.

A superior selection from Ella...5
Recording dates from 1947 to 1955. Running times 75 minutes and 77 minutes. This 49-song compilation includes a wide range of performances and both studio and live. The first 4 songs on Disc 2 are from a 1953 concert recorded in Japan with her quartet. Ellis Larkin's is on piano for the Gershwin songs. Includes 4 songs from the famous Cole Porter Song book, Original recordings produced by Norman Granz, Recorded March 27, 1956 at Capitol Studios, Hollywood with the Buddy Bregman orchestra featuring Paul Smith on piano and the finest of session musicians. There are also 3 Rodgers and Hart and 10 Gershwin songs. Attractively packaged with an outer cardboard sleeve, recording dates (years), liner notes and excellent cover artwork, which lifts them all to life. The budget price tag makes it a bargain.
