Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of The Cole Porter Songbook is like a delightful serving of scones and tea on a rainy day - comforting, classic, and utterly charming. Fitzgerald's velvety vocals effortlessly glide through Porter's timeless melodies, breathing new life into each track with her unmatched charisma and poise.

From the sultry groove of "Night and Day" to the playful swing of "Anything Goes," Fitzgerald masterfully navigates the complex emotions and intricate phrasing of Porter's lyrics, capturing the essence of each song with aplomb. Her impeccable phrasing and flawless pitch are a testament to her status as one of jazz music's greatest vocalists.

The arrangements on the album are equally superb, with lush orchestration that perfectly complements Fitzgerald's dynamic vocal range. The musicianship on display is top-notch, with each instrument adding depth and texture to the overall sound.

Standout tracks include the infectious "I Get a Kick Out of You" and the tender ballad "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," both of which showcase Fitzgerald's versatility as a singer. The album as a whole is a masterclass in vocal performance, showcasing Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent and artistry.

In a music landscape saturated with auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, Ella Fitzgerald's timeless elegance and undeniable talent shine through on The Cole Porter Songbook. This album is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers alike, a true gem in Fitzgerald's legendary discography. Cheers to the First Lady of Song for another unforgettable musical experience.
