Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Ella Fitzgerald’s new album to that on ‘The Jerome Kern Songbook’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This disc has all of the essential Ella Fitzgerald classics. This is one of the best Cd’s Ella Fitzgerald has dropped to date. This is my first Ella Fitzgerald Album and i must say i am blown away.
Early Autumn as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Day In, Day Out the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. This Time The Dream’s On Me rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Voice and instruments in Skylark complement each other. Single ‘O is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after The Jerome Kern Songbook have ended. Once you hear Something’s Gotta Give, you will listen to it over and over. I can’t stop humming along Trav’lin’ Light. Midnight Sun is just simply stunning. I came to like Dream. I Remember You is so unique, as each one of the songs is. When A Woman Loves A Man - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.
