Music reviews of Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, Vol. 1
Music Review: The Best Ella you can get
Rating: 5 Stars
This has to be my favorite Ella Fitzgerald CD of them all. There are frankly no weak songs on this entire CD. The CD is strongest at the beginning front-loading all the best songs there with the strongest efforts (contrary to another reviewers taste) Miss Otis Regrets, and the best versions of All Thru the Night and Anything Goes that I have ever heard. It is almost as if Cole Porter wrote these songs for Ella herself. Even some of the weaker efforts, if thats what they can be called at the end of the CD are worthwhile. There are times when you buy a CD and you end up saying, wow i could have just bought three or four songs of this for cheaper. Here, you will get your moneys worth.
Description of Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, Vol. 1
There have probably never been a singer and a songwriter as perfect for each other as Ella and Cole, and this delicious, inexhaustibly delightful album is the pinnacle of Fitzgerald's career, not to mention one of the most likeable records ever made. Porter's songs were wry, sly and as sexy as he could get away with; over Buddy Bregman arrangements that have the good sense to stay out of the way, Ella delivers them with absolute grace and wit, savoring the words' erudite jokes but integrating them into her playful, technically astonishing swing. The Cole Porter Songbook--augmented with three illuminating alternate takes in this rerelease--works as jazz, as Broadway, and as an example of what a great vocalist can do with the right lyric. --Douglas WolkClassic Vocalists CDs
