Ella Returns To Berlin offers many highlights. Ella swings better than anyone but also she can break a heart, like her medley of the Helen Morgan torch songs "Why Was I Born?" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" attests. "Witchcraft," then one of Sinatra's hits, Ella sings with the verse and sings only like Ella. And, really, her repertoire at Carnegie Hall in 1941 was about the same as her repertoire at the Deutschlandhalle in 1961 - with only a change of venue for "Mr.. Paganini." One difference is that the bossa nova was new in 1961 and not yet essential at Ella's gigs. There's a moment in another popular Latin groove: Ella's a cappella prelude to "You're Driving Me Crazy" swells into a mambo, if only for the head, before she swings more straight ahead. It's only "Rock It For Me," a trifle of honky tonking, that one can imagine Ella singing nowadays - but even this Ella sings with elemental blues.
---Michael Bourne, from the liner notes to Ella Returns To Berlin |
