Ella FitzgeraldAvailable for pre-order today: The Rodgers and Hart Songbook is full of standards that everyone knows and loves, but in Ella’s hands these songs become even more special. Standouts include: ‘Manhattan’, which has one of the most sublime moments on any Ella recording, ‘There’s a Small Hotel’, ‘You Took Advantage of Me’, and the perennial, ‘My Funny Valentine’. It features the cream of West Coast session musicians: Maynard Ferguson (trumpet), Milt Bernhart (trombone), Herb Geller and Ted Nash and Bud Shank (doubling on clarinets and saxophone), Barney Kessel (guitar), and Alvin Stoller (drums). 🎶
