Our Take

At long last, the enchanting melodies of Ella Fitzgerald are here to grace our ears once again in "The Absolutely Essential". This collection of timeless classics is like a hot cup of tea on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and oh-so satisfying.

From the moment Fitzgerald's velvety voice hits your eardrums on tracks like "Dream a Little Dream of Me" and "Blue Skies", you'll find yourself transported to a world where swingin' jazz reigns supreme and troubles melt away like butter on a warm scone.

But don't be fooled by the smoothness of Fitzgerald's vocals - this girl's got sass for days. Just listen to her cheeky rendition of "A Fine Romance" or the playful bounce of "Cheek to Cheek" and you'll see that this dame means business when it comes to taking no prisoners on the dance floor.

With a career spanning over five decades, Fitzgerald proves time and time again that she's more than just a pretty voice - she's a force to be reckoned with in the music world. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your finest bubbly, and let "The Absolutely Essential" transport you to a world where the only thing that matters is the sweet sound of jazz in your ears.

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.
