Reissue. The single best-selling volume in Ella's fabled Songbook series, with three bonus takes, original album art and terrific sound! 34 tracks.

Long considered a jewel in Verve Records' very impressive crown, Fitzgerald's songbook collections of various composers - a series that was started by the success of this set - are all wonderful, but her natural wit and intelligence was at its most perfect with Cole Porter's erudite, urbane songs.

While not as scat-oriented as her small group outings, these Porter sets offer her most realized pop performances. Also, the gold remastering does a fine job of bringing out the nuances in the arrangements, making this a treasure for the serious collector and the casual listener alike. A true American music gem. - Skip Heller
