Description:

Ella Fitzgerald is one of those rare artists who is impossible to overrate: while tankards of ink have been spilled saluting her talent, there`s always room for a bit more. In short, Ella`s voice can be counted among the reasons to live on this earth, and a well selected, well compiled best-of like GOLD is a great place to start celebrating her gifts. At two discs and 40 tracks, GOLD spins the listener through the whole of Ella`s career from early faves ("A Tisket A Tasket") to Gershwin ("Someone to Watch Over Me") to Ellington ("Take the A Train") and more, showing off her honeyed timbre, eloquent phrasing, and scatting panache in a way that leaves nothing lacking.
