Title: Ella and Duke swing hard on this outstanding recording
Review: This is one of my favorite Ella Fitzgerald recordings because it is the one on which she swings the hardest. I think this recording gives us a glimpse into Ella's talent for swing that made her a sensation at the Savoy ballroom with Chick Webb's band in her early career, but with the addition of mature musical artistry that she had developed in the intervening years. I read somewhere that before a joint appearance with Ella, Sarah Vaughan was warned not to get into a vocal battle with Ella on a fast song because "she will tear you up." From this recording, one can hear the wisdom of that warning. The Duke Ellington band also swings harder than usual. I think Ella, the band, and the receptive audience pushed the performance to new heights in swing. In addition to some of the swingingest singing that she ever recorded, Ella also delivers one of her finest ballad performances on the hauntingly lovely "Something to Live For."
