The late Ella Fitzgerald is rightly recognized as one of America's greatest singers--jazz or otherwise--and her appeal spans decades and generations; in Duke Ellington's words, she is "beyond category." Her elegant, crystal-clear phrasing and joyous, persuasive sense of swing made her a favorite of Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and many others. VERY BEST OF THE SONGBOOKS presents a sampling of Ella's finest recordings as she interprets classic American standards as only she can, with assistance from some of the finest musical arrangers America has ever produced--Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and the Duke, among them. VERY BEST OF THE SONGBOOKS is a nice introduction for those not yet ready to indulge in each of Ella's specific songbook albums, but a cursory listen to what's on offer here should send any listener right back to the record shop to pick up what they've been missing for so long. This is timeless stuff.
