Our Take

Calling all jazz babies and boppers, get ready to be serenaded into dreamland with the enchanting "Lullabies of Birdland" by the one and only Ella Fitzgerald. This collection of complete sessions recorded for Decca between 1944 and 1954 is a swinging celebration of the First Lady of Song's velvet vocals and impeccable phrasing.

From the moment Ella's voice takes flight on the iconic title track, you'll be transported to a magical realm where scatting nightingales and bebop hummingbirds flutter around you. The way she effortlessly glides through classics like "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" and "How High the Moon" is nothing short of mesmerizing, leaving you swaying in your hammock of harmonies.

But it's not just the enchanting melodies that make this album a must-listen. The arrangements, featuring jazz luminaries like Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson, are simply divine, giving each song a lush and dynamic backdrop that will have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers in no time.

So, if you're in need of a musical lullaby to soothe your soul and send you off to dreamland, look no further than Ella Fitzgerald's "Lullabies of Birdland." With its timeless charm and unrivalled artistry, this album is sure to have you singing along with the birds in no time. Sweet dreams, hep cats!

About the artist

Ella Fitzgerald

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.
