Ella Fitzgerald

DE-LUXE 10 CDs SET

This 10 CD set is the first to offer a comprenhensive look at Ella Fitzgerald’s six decades long recording career. From her days as Chick Webb’s girl singer through her rise as Decca Record’s singing star of the 1940s through the early 1950s. In 1956 Norman Granz formed Verve Records, principally for Ella Fitzgerald, and during her decade long association with the label she defined the long playing record with her albums dedicated to the writers of the Great American Songbook. In the later of the 1960s she recorded for several labels before singing to Pablo Records, the label formed and owned by Norman Granz.

Ella’s live performances, beginning with her appearances with Jazz at the Philharmonic, and throughout her long career, made her one of the most popular live preformers; two of the CDs features Ella’s brilliant, often improvised, concert performances.
