Ella Fitzgerald – Ella At The Hollywood Bowl: The Irving Berlin Songbook (CD)
Product Details
Recorded at one of American music's most storied outdoor venues, this live document captures Fitzgerald doing what no studio session could fully contain: bringing a songwriter's entire world to life in front of an audience. Irving Berlin's catalog, spanning decades of American popular song from Tin Pan Alley to Broadway, found its most exacting interpreter in Ella, whose pitch, phrasing, and emotional precision remained unmatched throughout her career.
Ella Fitzgerald's "Songbook" records - with her peerless renditions of the best songs from iconic composers from Irving Berlin to Rogers & Hart to Cole Porter to George & Ira Gershwin - are the cornerstone of the Verve catalog and the standard for jazz vocal recordings. Ella never released a live version of these Songbooks. This record, discovered in the private collection of Norman Granz, will make the first time a live Songbook has been released from the First Lady of Song. CD Softpak.
