Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded for Verve Records, this album captures Ella Fitzgerald operating with a smaller jazz quartet rather than the large orchestras typical of her Song Book series. Backed by pianist Lou Levy, the intimate session highlights her impeccable swing phrasing and melodic clarity across a selection of classic standards.
