Product Description
Karl Drewo is Undoubtedly One of Those Rare Specimen of European Jazz Talent. He Plays as If He were Born in the Us and Raised Right in One of the Darkest Neighbourhoods of Harlem, Possibly Somewhere Near the Old Cotton Club Where Duke Ellington Used to Excite his Audiences for More Than Almost a Quarter Century. When You Ask Karl What He Likes in Jazz, He'll Tell You: "i Like Jazz". Period. As Simple as that and Without Any Nonsense and Discrimination Between the Various Styles and Sub-styles of the Subsequent Jazz Eras. Although He Has Some Favourites Among the Great Jazzmen, to Karl Jazz Itself is the One and Only Important Thing in the World and He Feels that a Real Connoisseur of Jazz Does Not Truly Love Jazz If He Discriminates Between the Manners and Mannerisms, Because in Essence There is Only Good Jazz and Bad Jazz.

This early '60s studio session captures Ella Fitzgerald moving toward the smaller, more pointedly jazz-inflected ensembles that would shape her career in her final decades. After the lush orchestrations of her classic series of composer songbooks, which found her collaborating with the best arrangers, the intimate scale and easy interplay of a crack band provide a wonderful platform for the spirited performances here. That Ella herself savored the opportunity is reflected in a program that includes Thelonious Monk's "After Midnight" and a breezy, potent ride through the Charlie Parker/Dizzy Gillespie anthem, "Night In Tunisia." With a mix of bona fide standards and revived swing classics, this is a rediscovered gem, cause enough to clap hands. --Sam Sutherland

5 out of 5 stars Brava Ella!.......2004-11-15

I like very much this cd. Especially there are three song i love the most: Cry me a river, good morning heartache, and a night in tunisia.
In the whole disc you can appreciate Ella's way of interpreting .....her voice is simply pure and clean in other words perfect.
Do buy this disc..definitly!

5 out of 5 stars 50,000 stars.......2003-09-08

This is one of Ella's very best (if no THE best) albums. Heck, it's one of the best vocal jazz albums *period.* It's just Ella and a small group, but it will blow you away. I recommend it to everyone, and it makes a great first choice for those just now looking into the First Lady of Song. Every track is choice, but "Night In Tunisa," "'Round Midnight," "Jersey Bounce," and "Music Goes Round and Around" stand out. The best song is "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most." It's the best rendition of that song by anyone anywhere. :-D

5 out of 5 stars Pure Magic.......2003-06-03

This is probably my favorite Ella CD. Recorded in her prime--the early 1960s--it eschews the overlush arrangements and unembellished singing of her "Songbook" period and returns to her swing roots. This time she chooses a small combo of top-notch musicians and takes an attitude that's at once more intense and more playful than before, steering a course between the score-bound style of the mid-50s and the showy scat singing that made her famous in the 40s. Here the singing is very tender and contains the most tasteful, imaginative, and beautiful ornaments & phrasings I've ever heard in jazz singing--listen, for example, to the haunting last bars of "Round Midnight" and see if the hairs of your arms don't rise. What's even more notable is the large number of bop standards and slow ballads on this album. It's all wonderful, but I would name "Night in Tunisia," "Round Midnight," "Cry Me A River," "Good Morning, Heartache," and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" as my favorite tracks.

Also highly recommended are "Ella in Berlin" and "Ella in Rome," both recorded during the same period (late 1950s, early 1960s) with small combos.

I had jazz professors at the University of Utah that steered me toward Ella's music. They said that in order to understand jazz with all of its improvisation, one should listen to how the tune "goes" first. Especially in the Songbook albums, Ella sings them with little improv or embellishment, but reads the ink pretty straight. Several of the composers featured stated that they didn't know how good their songs were until they heard Ella sing them.
Clap Hands Here Comes Charlie is backed by jazz trio/quartet, a departure from the more string-backed songbooks. Ella is a little more playful here.

If you have all of her Songbook series, and you're looking to expand your Ella collection, I'd recommend starting here.

5 out of 5 stars My first jazz album.......2002-12-17

I bought this on vinyl in 1968 and always loved it, but it went missing and I had forgotten even the name of the album, but then a little before the Internet came along I called Public Radio Music Source one night and asked if they had an Ella CD with Cry Me A River on it, and sure enough ...

It is just a lovely album with crystal clear recording of Ella at her best with a small group. I think my favorite songs from this are Cry Me A River and Night in Tunisia, but really they are all good. This one is a keeper.
