A clear and crisp recording of a singer who has a remarkable voice. This is a classic and a favorite in my CD collection.
The Gold Standard March 16, 2008
T. Crowley (Alaska,USA)
Ella is the gold standard for all female singers. She has the range of a classical singer, the soul of a blues singer, and the improvisational skills and phrasing of a jazz artist. If you want to begin a lifelong love affair with this great artist, this CD is the place to start.
An Excellent Beginner's Course To The Queen Of Jazz. January 6, 2008
Anthony Nasti (Staten Island, New York United States)
For those getting into the magic of Lady Ella, this 18 song collection is certainly a solid appetizer. The songs capture the essence of Lady Ella: her fabulous singing, her one of a kind interpretive skills, her fabulous scatting and most of all, the passion she put into everything she sang.
"Pure Ella" containd dome of Ella's most endearing recordings, among them her classic "failed" attempt at "Mack The Knife," (she has a ball on this one), her gender flopped "The Boy From Ipanema," her moving version of "Over The Rainbow," her excellent collaborations with Louis Armstrong on "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "Summertime" and the soaring "How High The Moon." All these track represent prime Ella, when her voice was at her most powerful and her singing was second to none.
The album's sound quality is excellent, and the packaging, which features an excellent essay by Will Freidwald. Definitely an essential purchase for those getting into Lady Ella.
