Ella Fitzgerald: The Voice of Jazz (Verve Audio CDs)
* Estimated price converted from UK retail price
Ella Fitzgerald is probably the most recognised, most iconic voice in jazz. Her recordings are considered by many to be the definitive readings of many songs in the Great American Songbook – and in the course of her long career she became The Voice Of Jazz.
This is the first time that a definitive, all-encompasing box set release has been attempted from Ella’s back catalogue. This 10 CD/197 track digital product guides the listener from her very earliest recordings with the Chick Webb Orchestra, through her 1950s peak – with the “Songbook” albums for Verve and the collaborations with Louis Armstrong, through the 1960s and on to her later years, when she had reached the status of elder statesperson.
A booklet accompanies the discs, telling her incredible story in every aspect and including exclusive archive photo material.
