-
Ella
Fitzgerald
“Songbook”
records,
with
her
peerless
renditions
of
the
best
songs
from
iconic
composers
from
Irving
Berlin
to
Rodgers
and
Hart
to
Cole
Porter
to
George
and
Ira
Gershwin
and
more
are
the
cornerstone
of
the
Verve
catalog
and
the
veritable
standard
for
jazz
vocal
recordings.
As
influential
as
these
albums
were
on
the
history
of
jazz
and
American
Popular
Song,
Ella
Fitzgerald
never
released
a
live
version
of
these
Songbooks.
This
landmark
record,
discovered
in
the
private
collection
of
producer
Norman
Granz,
will
make
the
first
time
a
live
Songbook
has
been
released
from
the
first
lady
of
song.
This
album
is
a
first
in
a
number
of
other
respects,
as
well:
although
she
performed
regularly
at
the
Bowl,
this
is
the
first
full-length
concert
by
Ella
from
this
iconic
venue
to
be
released.
Furthermore,
it
documents
the
only
time
Ella
worked
in
concert
with
Paul
Weston,
the
gifted
arranger-conductor
of
her
Irving
Berlin
Songbook
album.
