(1 Customer Review)
Recorded between 1938 & 1963. Includes liner note by Joseph F. Laredo.
This is part of Universal Records "20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection" series.
This budget-priced 12-song compilation provides the listener a quick introduction to the work of Ella Fitzgerald. The collection focuses mainly on her work in the 1950s for Verve but also includes her 1938 hit for Decca, "A-Tisket A-Tasket," the 1939 song "Undecided," her 1949 recording of "I'm Just a Lucky So-and-So," and two tracks from the early '60s: "A Fine Romance" from 1963's The Jerome Kern Song Book and "Blues in the Night" from 1961's Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book. The songs from the 1950s are thought by many to be Ella's best work, and her duets with Louis Armstrong are considered right near the top. The two jazz giants recorded "Dream a Little Dream of Me" in 1950. Other highlights from the 1950s are her reworking of an earlier hit, "You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini), Pts. 1 & 2" from 1952 with Sy Oliver's big band, her sweet take on "But Not for Me" from 1950's Ella Sings Gershwin, and the beautiful "Just A-Sittin' and A-Rockin'" from 1957's triumphant Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book. The disc is nowhere near comprehensive but gives a good idea why Ella is so revered and would make a decent first purchase for the Ella neophyte with a limited budget. ~ Tim Sendra

| | Jessica Smith-Wright Eres Real/So Real CD (2006)
20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Ella Fitzgerald
$13.69 About The MusicAs you might have guessed from its title, Eres Real / So Real is a bilingual project, but in a unique way. The entire list of songs is recorded twice: once in English, a second time in Spanish. Likewise, the lyrics for each song are written in both languages. The idea stemmed from the work her church does with mission work in Central America. "There's not a lot of good worship music in Spanish in these countries," notes Aaron Smith, Jessica's pastor and father. "We discussed with our missionaries about the idea of a Spanish language project, and they were excited by the idea."With the support of their missionary brothers in Honduras -- and a lot of help from the Spanish-speaking members of The Rock's congregation -- each song was faithfully translated from English to Spanish. The idea of putting both languages on one CD was inspired by economics. "It was cheaper to press one CD with both versions than to press two different CDs," Jessica said.Previously released on her debut CD of the same (though English-only) name, Jessica shares the inspiration for each of the songs on Eres Real.Made Free: “My favorite definition of insanity is doing the ...
