Stewart, Ben Young, Phil Bailey and Milt Bernhart.Digitally remastered by Chris Herles using 20-bit technology from the original master tapes (Polygram Studios).This is part of the Verve Master Edition series.The paradox of Ella Fitzgerald's prominence in the history of jazz singing and her lack of emotional intensity is much less apparent on this album. George Gershwin's affinity with jazz, and the corresponding delight jazz musicians take in performing his material, allow the singer to fly with the music. As for brother Ira's lyrics, they receive their due as cheerful, tender and always delightful examples of the lyricist's art. The Songbook series remains one of Ella Fitzgerald's major contributions--among many--to American popular music and this in particular is one of the best of the sizeable bunch. Format: CD (1 Disc) Studio/Live: Studio Guest Artist: Nelson Riddle; Herb Ellis; Benny Carter; Barney Kessel; Mel Lewis; Pete Condoli; Plas Johnson; Buddy Collette Release Date: 9 February, 2010 Label: Not Now Music
