Ella Fitzgerald tartışmasız caz müziğinde gelmiş en üst yorumculardan biri idi belki de en iyisi. Yüzlerce albüm yapan sanatçının en büyük çalışmaları ünlü Amerikalı caz besteci ve söz yazarlarının parçalarını bir araya getirip okuduğu uzxun çalarlardır. İşte burada onlardan biri olan ve 5 uzun çalardan oluşan Ella Sings George & Ira Gershwin Song Book adlı 1959 çıkışlı çalışmasını tanıtmak istiyorum.
Ben şans eseri 1959 orjinal baskı box' ı buldum, bulabilenler için Speakers Corner'dan sıfır 180 gr baskısı ya da CD sini öneririm. Albümde 54 adet değerli parça var
Nelson Riddle 57 tane Gerschwin eserini albüm için aranje etmiştir. George Gerschwin vafat ettiğinde Fitzgerald henüz 22 yaşındaydı Ira Gerschwin ise proje sırasında hayatta idi ve albümde yer alan parçaların sözlerinde ve kimi hiç yayımlanmamış olanları müziğinde ekibe yardım etti.
Bu proje için Ira Gerschwin der ki " Bu parçaların bu kadar iyi olduğunu onaları Ella yorumlayana dek asla bilememişim". Ella Fitzgerald bu albüm çıktığında 41 yaşında ve vokal gücünün en tepesindeydi
