The nineteenth album: #19 Ella Fitzgerald - Sings the Gerswhin Songbook
Surely amongst the longer albums on the list, this compilation takes three hours, serving here as a workday companion. The instrumental start also make the album feel more epic, putting you in the right move more generally.
It's obviously a lot more restrained than yesterday's Sarah Vaughan album, which help make it feel like a big production. Ella Fitzgerald sounds amazing, very polished and confident. It's a variety of songs, although all jazzy and from a musical tradition, but it goes from very happy and upbeat to sadder and slower, creating a nice mix.
