Ella Fitzgerald's SONGBOOK albums from the mid-'50s are among the most famous records in jazz history, and although she recorded albums dedicated to a number of fine songwriters, from Cole Porter to Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, it's her tribute to Duke Ellington and his musical partner Billy Strayhorn that's the pinnacle. Backed by the Duke Ellington Orchestra--then at the peak of its powers--and produced by the legendary Norman Granz, Fitzgerald recorded two full volumes of Ellington-Strayhorn compositions, from early standards like "Take the 'A' Train" to the brand-new "The E and D Blues." Many of Fitzgerald's renditions of these tunes are simply definitive. Though this 70-minute compilation is a generous sampler especially suited for neophytes, more zealous fans--either of Ellington or of Fitzgerald--will only be happy with the complete works.
