Our Take

Oh, darling, Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of "Porgy & Bess" is like a musical cocktail that's been shaken, not stirred. From the moment the needle hits the groove, you'll find yourself transported to a world of sultry sophistication and jazzy charm.

Fitzgerald's voice is like velvet draped over a smooth jazz backing, weaving tales of love, loss, and longing with effortless grace. The classic songs of Gershwin come alive in her capable hands, each note dripping with emotion and elegance.

The arrangements on this album are top-notch, with lush strings and swinging horns providing the perfect backdrop for Fitzgerald's golden vocals. It's a masterclass in musical storytelling, with each track building on the last to create a rich tapestry of sound.

From the infectious energy of "Summertime" to the haunting beauty of "My Man's Gone Now," Fitzgerald's performance is nothing short of mesmerizing. She brings a sense of drama and depth to each song, infusing them with new life and vitality.

So grab a glass of your finest champagne, sink back into your favorite armchair, and let Ella Fitzgerald whisk you away on a journey through the timeless music of "Porgy & Bess." You won't be disappointed - this album is a true gem in the world of jazz. Cheers to that!
