Ella Fitzgerald – Sings The George and Ira Gershwin Song Books, Vol.3

All these songs have been performed dozens, even hundreds of times, by a myriad of American entertainers. Almost all of them have been sung or played numerous times in greatly varying arrangements by jazz vocalists and instrumentalists – avant-garde, conventional – you name it. There isn’t, and never will be, a “definitive” version, but one thing is for sure: in her Gershwin Songbook Ella Fitzgerald has given us a whole series of absolutely first-class interpretations – and all the songs are complemented by their appropriate introduction in the complete version.
