Description
Released in 1956 as the inaugural album on the newly founded Verve label, Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book marked a major turning point in Ella Fitzgerald’s career and launched her landmark Song Book series, pairing her with producer Norman Granz, arranger-conductor Buddy Bregman, and a full studio orchestra for 32 selections spanning Porter’s catalog. Recorded across February and March of 1956, the album frames Ella’s immaculate phrasing and clarity with polished West Coast orchestration that blends swing, ballad writing, and classic Hollywood sheen, emphasizing the lyrical wit and melodic elegance of Porter’s writing. Celebrated upon release and formative in shaping both Verve’s identity and Ella’s artistic trajectory, it remains a cornerstone of her discography and a defining document of 20th century American popular interpretation.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
