Ella Fitzgerald's idea to sing the songbooks of major writers proved smart, savvy, and artful. By the time she began to record Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book in 1960, she had sung the songbooks of Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, and Irving Berlin. This relaxed and tastefully arranged set showcases Fitzgerald in her prime, confidently engaging 28 of Arlen's best songs. Familiar pieces like "One for My Baby" and "That Old Black Magic" make appearances, along with all-time classics like "Stormy Weather" and "Over the Rainbow." On this latter tune, she adds the front verses, an appealing addition that few will be familiar with. Billy May's orchestra lays down a quiet mix of horns and strings that perfectly supports Fitzgerald on songs like "When the Sun Comes Out" and "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe." Four bonus tracks, including two alternative cuts, spice up the package. A particular oddity, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," converts surprisingly well into big-band jazz. The attractive CD set also includes the original album cover, an outline of a face drawn by Henri Matisse. Sings the Harold Alden Song Book is an exquisite album, a classic in vocal jazz, and one of Fitzgerald's best recordings. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Customer Sings The Harold Arlen Songbook Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Fantastic!!!!!
Besides excellent soud quality, the songs of Harold Arlen are performed flawlessly by Ella. The emotion is just right for each song sung. Orchestration is perfect. If your an Ella fan or just curious about her sound then this double cd is right for you. In my opinion, her voice at age 40 (at the time this was recorded) was better than at any other time in her career.

Liner Note Author: Bob Blumenthal.
THE LEGENDARY PRESTIGE QUINTET SESSIONS is a four-disc box set that collects all the work Miles Davis recorded for Prestige with his classic first quintet (featuring John Coltrane on sax, Paul Chambers on bass, Philly Joe Jones on drums, and Red Garland on piano). The lyrical, complex, and endlessly listenable music these five men created together stands as a high watermark of not only the post-bop period but of American music in the 20th century.
Miles fans will likely own the lion's share of this material on albums ...
