This review is from: Sweet & Hot (Audio CD)

If you have all the Songbook albums that Ella Fitzgerald recorded, and want to swell your collection further, this CD will undoubtedly appeal, as it covers the period in the run-up to her trendsetting 1956 Cole Porter record.
Four of these 1955 tracks were conducted by André Previn, and are sumptuous, classy, strings-accompanied interpretations of classic ballads.
Another six numbers - the "hot" of the title - are fast, seriously swinging standards with jazz maestro Benny Carter at the helm.
My favourite tracks : "You'll Never Know", "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea".
Enjoy!
