| | Ella Fitzgerald Hello, Dolly! CD Ella Fitzgerald Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
One of Ella Fitzgerald's most overtly "pop" albums, 1964's HELLO, DOLLY! finds the beloved jazz vocalist working almost solely with orchestral backing. The arrangements (here provided by Henri Rene, Johnnie Spence, and Frank DeVol, alternately) are often soaring and string-heavy, and horns are prominent, especially on Fitzgerald's enthusiastic, solidly swinging renditions of the showtune title track, the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love," and Richard Rodgers's "The Sweetest Sounds."
The rest of the record is filled with lush, gentle tracks, including the thoughtful "People," the lilting "How High the Moon," and the lightly swaying "Volare," which features the great Hank Jones on piano. As always, Fitzgerald's gorgeous, crystal-clear singing glides effortlessly over the instrumentation, immediately entrancing listeners with her intuitive phrasing and undeniable charisma. For fans of pop vocals, this album is an ideal portal into the extensive catalog of this legendary performer.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using 24-bit technology.
Personnel: Ella Fitzgerald (vocals).

Hello, Dolly! album
 $10.59 
This 2004 double disc of Carmen McRae released by Collectables continues the label's efforts to chronicle her stay with Atlantic Records from 1967 to 1972. She was near the top of her interpretive powers during this era, turning standards and contemporary pop songs into personal expressions of joy and heartache. Her voice, while not as pure as it had been, is still a thing of wonder, very powerful and always very much her own. The Art of Carmen McRae gathers songs from the two live records she released for Atlantic, Live at the Century Plaza and the incredible The Great American Songbook, as well as the studio albums (excepting For Once in My Life, which makes up the whole of the second disc), singles, and for some reason the Bittersweet album that came out in 1964 on Focus. You could spend time beating your head against the wall wondering why those songs are seemingly thrown in at random or why the liner notes provide very little documentation, but there really is no need -- instead it is a better idea to just enjoy the disc for what it is: a very fine compilation of some of McRae's best work. The second disc (the straight reissue of 1967's For Once in My Life) is much easier to enjoy, as it raises no packaging or song selection issues. The record is made up mostly of contemporary songs by Bacharach/David, Brian Wilson, the Beatles, and Buffy Sainte-Marie, and at first glance one might think that the record is just a callow attempt to ...
| | Patti Page Say Wonderful Things/Love After Midnight CD (2003)
Hello, Dolly! CD music
$10.59 
This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Patti Page LPs: Say Wonderful Things and Love After Midnight, issued in 1963 and 1964, respectively, and originally released on Columbia. These albums zero in on easy listening versions of standards from the songbooks of Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen, Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer, Edward Heyman and Victor Young. Not an essential purchase for casual listeners, but fans who have been waiting for these LPs to make the switch to CD will appreciate it. ~ Al Campbell
Full Title - Say Wonderful Things / Love After Midnight. Patti Page was 'The Singing Rage.' Her rich, husky voice made her one ...

| | Ella Fitzgerald Hello Love CD (1996) Remastered; Digipak
Hello, Dolly! songs
$8.99
Of the dozens of Ella Fitzgerald albums on the market, HELLO LOVE may be the most romantic. Recorded in the late 1950s, these 12 tracks highlight Fitzgerald's ability to render passionate and tender performances of love songs.
Yet Fitzgerald may have more in common with a horn player than a vocalist. Unlike many song stylists, she wasn't merely a pretty voice; she employed a lot of jazzy nuance and timbral variety in her singing. On this album, you might hear her drag behind the beat on a phrase or slide up to a note slowly. She also might spice up a particularly important word with a jazzy turn. Listeners will hear these subtle vocal qualities best on "You Go to My Head." On this ballad, Frank DeVol's arrangement supports Fitzgerald with long, lush string chords and sparkling harp glissandos. Further, the soaring flute and ...
| | Ella Fitzgerald Live At Mister Kelly's CDs (2007) Remastered
Hello, Dolly! album
$14.79  
Ella Fitzgerald didn't lack for live recording opportunities in the late '50s, which on the surface, would make this first issue of a 1958 Chicago live club date an easy one to pass on. Verve label head Norman Granz recorded her often in the '50s with an eye to releasing live albums, which he did with her shows at Newport in 1957 and Los Angeles' Opera House in 1958 (not to mention another 1958 concert in Rome that was released 30 years later to wide acclaim). Those shows, however, differed widely from this one, which found her in front of a very small audience at Chicago's jazz Mecca Mister Kelly's (Sarah Vaughan's landmark At Mister Kelly's was recorded there four months earlier). Fitzgerald's artistry is basically ...

Hello, Dolly! album
$13.39
Kazu Matsui's THE STONE MONKEY is an entrancing album that features ethereal keyboard washes, hypnotic drum loops, and throbbing bass riffs. However, Matsui's shakuhachi (a traditional Japanese bamboo flute) is the album's centerpiece.
The reedy sound of the shakuhachi gives tracks such as "Shadow of Its Soul" and "Red Forest" a dark, rueful feel. Other selections, such as the album's opening, "Edge of Sunrise," and ...
