Ella Fitzgerald was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a ""horn-like"" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. This special 3CD set includes 39 of her most popular and cherished recordings to celebrate her 100th birthday anniversary year.

The evening before Louis Armstrong recorded this album, both he and Miss Fitzgerald were appearing in an all-star concert also featuring Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson that was recorded for an album entitled Live At The Hollywood Bowl (1956). The following day the two singers, along with the Oscar Peterson Trio, were in a Los Angeles studio to record this gem of an album. With no time for rehearsals the songs were all set in Louis' key to make it easier, but this in no way inhibits Ella's performance. Another challenge for Pops was the fact that the material was not his normal repertoire, meaning he had to learn things on the fly in the studio. Again there's no hint of any issues, which all goes to highlight Armstrong's innate musical ability.

Johnny Mercer is the only lyricist Ella Fitzgerald saluted in her celebrated Songbook Series, this recording being the last of her songbooks for Verve. Once again summoning her peerless gift for popular song, Ella benefits from the brilliant arranging skills of Nelson Riddle. This lovely summation of the landmark series is a Verve Master Edition reissue release, featuring 20-bit digital transfer and deluxe, full color digipak.

The two sets from the evening, in front of a lively crowd, was captured February 2, 1956, a few days before Ella began recording Verve’s first album, ‘Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Song Book.’
