This review is from: Compact Jazz (Audio CD)

Usually known for her more upbeat, happy songs, Ella shows her full emotional and vocal range in this album. Complete with the famously infamous Mack the Knife mix-up in the Berlin Jazz Festival and the amazing scat-riddled Cottontale, I recommend this cd with every inch of my soul. A favorite track, and rarely heard in such good form, is "I got it bad." Both a fantastic pick for jazz connoseurs and those just starting out.
