  • Description

    Ella Fitzgerald's iconic 'Sings the Essential Cole Porter Song Book', includes a 20-page booklet with new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

    "Ella Fitzgerald had the ability to personalize some of the most recognizable material from the foremost songwriters in American popular music history. In this instance, the combination of Cole Porter's words and Fitzgerald's interpretation of them created one of the most sought-after sessions in vocal history - embraced by jazz and pop fans alike, transcending boundaries often associated with those genres." - Al Campbell, AllMusic

    "Thanks to her producer Norman Granz's advice, she embraced the music of legendary composer and lyricist Cole Porter for the first of a vast series of records, each of them dedicated to one of the contributors to the inexhaustible pool of popular songs of the Great American Songbook. From then on, Ella began to write a new page of her career, marked by a success the reasons of which are perfectly illustrated on The Essential Cole Porter Songbook." - Jazz Magazine

    "These performances are classics and among the first great works in the era of the long-playing record." Penguin Guide to Jazz

    "Ella's "songbook" albums for Verve were among Norman Granz's great successes, and The Cole Porter Songbook became the commercial rock on which Verve was built." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

    "The ease with which Ella Fitzgerald interprets these timeless songs is hardly indicative of it, but this album was nonetheless a turning point for the singer." - Jazz Magazine
