Die Wege von Duke Ellington und Ella Fitzgerald hatten sich in den dreißiger, vierziger und frühen fünfziger Jahren sicherlich viele Male gekreuzt. Bis 1957, als sie an einer Reihe von Big-Band-Sessions für Norman Granz teilnahmen, existiert jedoch keine Aufzeichnung einer Zusammenarbeit der beiden legendären Musiker.
Obwohl Ellington Ella bewunderte, hatte er zu diesem Zeitpunkt einen engen Konzertplan und hatte nicht viel Freizeit, um neue Musik zu komponieren oder bestimmte Arrangements für diese Alben zu treffen, die in die »Songbook«-Formel eingeschrieben werden sollten, die sich für Ella als sehr erfolgreich erwiesen hatte. Ella musste die regulären Arrangements der Band verwenden.
This release contains the complete Ella Fitzgerald vocal sides from the celebrated 1957 double LP set presenting her singing on the music of Duke Ellington. The first CD of this edition contains the complete small group sides, while the second CD features all of the big band numbers.
Outstanding recordings, worthwhile both as documents of a fertile period for her, or standing alone in a period of jazz history as the great musicians they all are.
All tracks originally issued as two Double LP sets:
- "The Duke Ellington Songbook, Vol. 1" (Verve MGV 4008-2)
- "The Duke Ellington Songbook, Vol. 2" (Verve MGV 4009-2)
Both sets also appeared combined in a special 4-LP box set (MGV 4010-4).
Collective personnel includes:
Ella Fitzgerald (vcl) with Dizzy Gillespie, Cat Anderson, Clark Terry, Willie CookRay Nance, 'Shorty' Baker (tp), Quentin Jackson, Britt Woodman (tb), Ben Webster, Frank Foster, Paul Gonsalves (ts), Johnny Hodges (as), Russell Procope (as, cl), Jimmy Hamilton (cl), Harry Carney (bs, cl), Stuff Smith (vln), Oscar Peterson, Paul Smith, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn (p), Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis (g), Ray Brown, Joe Mondragon, Jimmy Woode (b), Alvin Stoller and Sam Woodyard (d) among others.
Recorded in New York and Hollywood, between June-September, 1957.
