Our Take

Here goes...

Ella Fitzgerald's take on Rodgers and Hart is like a Sunday roast - comforting, familiar, and oh-so satisfying. The legendary jazz vocalist lends her silky smooth voice to classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "The Lady is a Tramp," breathing new life into these timeless tunes.

Fitzgerald's vocal range is as impressive as ever, effortlessly gliding from sultry lows to soaring highs. She navigates the intricate melodies with ease, making it seem like a walk in the park. Her impeccable phrasing and impeccable timing are enough to make any musician green with envy.

The arrangements, lush and full-bodied, provide the perfect backdrop for Fitzgerald's vocals to shine. The orchestra swings and sways, creating a rich tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in a warm embrace.

While some may argue that Fitzgerald's interpretations veer towards the safe side, there's no denying the sheer joy and charm she brings to each song. Her infectious energy and playful spirit are impossible to resist.

Overall, Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers And Hart Song Book is a delightful romp through the Great American Songbook. It's a timeless collection that showcases Fitzgerald at the top of her game, making it a must-have for any jazz aficionado. So sit back, relax, and let Ella transport you to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, is a jazz icon who needs no introduction. With a career spanning over six decades, Fitzgerald's mesmerising voice and improvisational skills have earned her a well-deserved spot in the music hall of fame. Born in 1917 in Virginia, Fitzgerald's talent was evident from a young age. Discovered at a Harlem talent show in the 1930s, she quickly rose to fame with her smooth, velvety vocals and impeccable scatting techniques. Known for her breathtaking range and pitch-perfect delivery, Fitzgerald's performances were always a sight to behold. Throughout her illustrious career, Fitzgerald collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. Her groundbreaking series of "songbook" albums, in which she covered the works of famous composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin, cemented her status as a true musical genius. Fitzgerald's influence extends far beyond the realm of jazz. Her ability to inject emotion and soul into every note she sings has inspired countless artists across genres. From pop to rock to hip-hop, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on through the artists she has inspired. As a music reviewer, it is hard not to be in awe of Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent and impact on the music world. Her timeless voice continues to enchant listeners to this day, proving that true talent knows no bounds. Ella Fitzgerald may no longer be with us, but her music will live on forever.
