Album Notes & Community Reviews

Demonstrating a striking vulnerability, 'Songs in a Mellow Mood' pairs Ella Fitzgerald solely with the graceful piano accompaniment of Ellis Larkins. Stripped of the typical swing-era big bands, Fitzgerald delivers incredibly nuanced, breathy interpretations of romantic standards. The intimate setting highlights the immaculate pitch and subtle emotional depth of her legendary voice.
