5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing can be bad with Ella., May 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Ella & Friends (Audio CD)

This is a great selection of songs sung with various artists. The first five songs are with Louie Armstrong, the next four with The Ink Spots, the next five with Louis Jordan, the next three with The Delta Rhythm Boys, and the last two with the Mills Brothers. All the songs are great arrangements with a young Ella singing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to Ella, May 7, 2000

Ella is truly one of the masters of jazz. Her comforting sounds compliment almost any mood or situation. Ella and Friends is a great introduction to her duets with Verve from 1944 - 1951, still the early years of Ella. Her voice is still very young and very feminine, without the earthy richness she acquires in later years.

While the tracks with Louis Armstrong are classics, the others are more hit and miss. Other classic Ella includes anything with Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald: First Lady of Song, and the songbooks.
