Info

It's a shame, because this songbook is beautifully executed by Fitzgerald and Riddle and contains wonderful Mercer collaborations with, among others, Harold Arlen and Hoagy Charmichael. This is definitely one for any Fitzgerald fan and not a bad introduction to her vast catalog. Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Johnny Mercer Song Book is a 1964 studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, focusing on the songs of Johnny Mercer. It was recorded in Los Angeles, California. This is Fitzgerald's fifth and final collaboration with Riddle during her years on the Verve label. The album is notable as Fitzgerald's only Song Book to concentrate on the work of a lyricist. Riddle's lush arrangements interact most beautifully with Fitzgerald on.

Jazz connoisseurs admired her for her solid swing feel and breakneck scatting, her ability to go head-to-head onstage with the era's great soloists. Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist Sample. Somewhat disappointing are the album's length and coverage. The Porter, Gershwin, and Irving Berlin Songbooks were originally four-sider LPs two CDs. The Mercer Songbook is just over forty minutes long. That's not a cheat, but, given his prolificacy, one wishes there had been more tracks. There's also less variety here: only one up-tempo swinger Something's Gotta Give the rest, slow or mid-tempo songs
