 | Ella Fitzgerald: Romance And Rhythm (CD: Proper, 4 CDs)
The first half of Ella Fitzgerald's stellar career is represented on this 4CD set, from her beginnings as singer with Chick Webb's Orchestra, via her own big band leading days and duets with the likes of Louis Armstrong & Louis Jordan to her emergence as the queen of scat in the 1940s and her first set of Gershwin songs, made with pianist Ellis Larkins. As the First Lady Of Song, Ella's career is also a history of the development of jazz singing - she practically defined the idiom from the 40s to the 50s - this is an essential jazz document. Reviews expected across the national & music press. (Proper Records)

 | Ella Fitzgerald: Smooth Sailing (CD: Proper)
"The First Lady of Song," Ella Fitzgerald was arguably the finest female jazz singer of all time. Blessed with a beautiful voice and a wide range, Fitzgerald could outswing anyone, was a brilliant scat singer, and had near-perfect elocution. These tracks date from the start of her career - covering early sides cut with big bands and her first solo efforts, featuring the arranging talents of Nelson Riddle. (Proper Records)

Ella Fitzgerald: Hello Love (CD: Verve LPR)

Ella Fitzgerald: Ella Sings Broadway (CD: Verve)
Verve once again unearths another gem to add to the wonderful Master Edition series. An almost forgotten item in her discography and long unavailable, 'Sings Broadway' (1962) is an ideal companion to the essential Ella songbooks and finds her lovingly interpreting songs by Adler & Ross, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe and Frank Loesser. Her take on the latter's 'Warm All Over' leaves you feeling just that, as do the lively, animated versions of 'Almost Like Being In Love' and 'Dites-Moi', and the sympathetic Marty Paich arrangements are felicitious and highly swinging. Though ultimately less essential than her Kern, Porter and the other Tin Pan Alley collections, this is still a delightful session, beautifully packaged and well documented.

 | Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington: Ella & Duke At The Cote D'Azur (CD: Verve, 2 CDs)
There's no mystery to the musical attraction between Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. In retrospect it seems inevitable that, from the time they became friends in the Thirties, they would collaborate. And after their classic studio dates, it's only fitting that they recorded live in the most romantic setting, the Cote d'Azur. This is the classic Sixties 2-LP set, in its entirety, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks. (Verve Music Group)

Ella Fitzgerald: Jukebox Ella- The Complete Verve Singles Vol.1 (CD: Verve, 2 CDs)
When Ella Fitzgerald first went into the recording studio in 1956 for Verve it was not to record The Cole Porter Songbook; it was to record four singles. Ella recorded 45’s alongside her major album projects for the next ten years. This collection, the first of two volumes (Volume 2 will be released in the fall of 2004), gathers Ella’s singles together for the first time, and is the first CD release of most of them. And they all reflect the many facets of her musical personality, whether she’s singing sentimental ballads, big-band swingers, or novelty tunes. Her impeccable artistry and wonderful voice makes every one a hit. (Verve Music Group)
