John Digester has compared writing for Ella Fitzgerald’s new album to that on ‘Ella at Duke’s Place’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. On Ella at Duke’s Place album, Ella Fitzgerald have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. This eleven-song debut EP shows the promise that Ella Fitzgerald has. This is one of Ella Fitzgerald best albums
This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Passion Flower - A catchy, upbeat tune. What sets I Like the Sunrise apart is Ella Fitzgerald’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Azure - This is a very lively song. Imagine My Frustration - Ella Fitzgerald first major hit. Duke’s Place [Aka C-Jam Blues] is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. I came to like Brown-skin Gal. I like the idea behind What Am I Here For?. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
