Billy May Arranger, Conductor
In the early '60s, Ella Fitzgerald and producer Norman Granz revived the Songbook series of albums, where Fitzgerald devoted entire albums to the works of notable songwriters. Though the '60s albums were not as renowned as mid-'50s releases, like both classic volumes of THE DUKE ELLINGTON SONGBOOK,they are possibly even stronger albums.
Billy May arranged and conducted these big-band sessions, which also star greats like alto saxophonist Benny Carter. Carter's fleet tone, unusually light for the deep-toned alto, is the instrumental highlight of May's typically swinging charts, but Fitzgerald's magnificent voice is always front and centre. Arlen's tunes range from mournful blues like the classic "Stormy Weather"--easily the collection's highpoint--to sprightly gems like "Let's Fall in Love" and his Johnny Mercer collaboration "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive", and Fitzgerald covers this range, as always, with ease. A magnificent set.
Ella Fitzgerald's version of the Harold Arlen Song Book represents what may be the last stage in one of the most astonishing marathons in the history of recorded music. In the last five years Ella has created a reference library of the popular song which is so different in character from anything else in the world of popular music that there is literally nothing with which it can be compared. The quality song of the last thirty years is a distinctive product indigenous to American life, and the moment in a listening career when one suddenly discovers the felicitous lyric, the sinuous melody, the delightful wedding of the two, is never forgotten. What these Song Books have done, apart form simplifying the task of building a tabulated library of the best songs, is to define the art of the Popular Song once and for all.
