60th Anniversary audiophile reissue of Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, the legendary recording which launched Norman Granz's Verve Records label. The vinyl box set includes three 180g vinyl LPs cut from original mono tapes by Ryan Smith at sterling Sound, and pressed and plated at RTI.
The year 1956 documented a great chapter in the history of jazz music: Norman Granz founded his third label, VERVE, managed to win Ella Fitzgerald (who has deserted DECCA) and initiated the Songbook Series which not only attracted a totally new listening public, but also established Ellas reputation as the First Lady of Song.
The Cole Porter Songbook marked the glorious beginning of a series which finally expanded to seven titles. The recordings success was practically a foregone conclusion. Porter had written hundreds of wonderful songs from which Granz made an initial choice of 50 songs before Ella and the bandleader and arranger Buddy Bregman finally decided upon what was, for them, the crème de la crème. The result was a list of 32 songs, all of which make easy listening not only thanks to their melodic originality and harmonic genius but particularly to the wonderful amalgamation of the text - which Porter always wrote himself - and the music. Each and every one is a classic in its own right. Bregmans arrangements never seek to disguise the fact that all these songs originated on Broadway, and Ella proves her greatness by finding something new in such old favorites as Night and Day, I Love Paris and I Get A Kick Out Of You. And as if that wasnt enough, Bregmans orchestra sounds absolutely splendid.
