Ella Fitzgerald’s debut, ‘The Irving Berlin Songbook(cd1)’, does not fit easily into one genre. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Ella Fitzgerald comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Ella Fitzgerald’s album The Irving Berlin Songbook(cd1) falls to No. 2 with 867,000, a sales slide of 68%. If you want to hear real Jazz, get this record now!
It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Top Hat, White Tie and Tails is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. This track is clearly meant to showcase Ella Fitzgerald’s vocal abilities. Russian Lullaby - Okay, I just talked about depth. After few listenings I started to like Puttin’ On The Ritz more and more. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Lazy is the most memorable and astounding. I Used To Be Color Blind on The Irving Berlin Songbook(cd1) is solid and easy to listen to. Ella Fitzgerald must have run out of lyrics on the next track How Deep Is The Ocean. In How About Me Ella Fitzgerald is at his best. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. So much energy, so exciting a sound.All By Myself is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Alexander’s Ragtime Band is astounding.
