100 Albums That Shook the World
Norman Granz had long cherished the ambition to have Ella recording for his label but had to wait until 1956 to make the signing. His first project for her was to record as many Cole Porter songs as they could lay their hands on in large ensemble style and release them […] on an unsuspecting but quickly enraptured public.
Classic Album Review
It can be hard to know where to start with these prolific jazz vocalists, but as a cohesive and quality recording, you can do no better than The Cole Porter Song Book, which serves not only as an extensive introduction to one of the most popular composers of the Great American Songbook, but also a showcase of one of the most well-known American singers at an inspired point in her career.
