Known worldwide as "The First Lady of Song," Ella Fitzgeraldwas one of the finest female jazz vocalists of all time.

Ella was also a highly talented interpreter of ballads, as proved by the selections heard on the present album, on which she is backed by small groups including such masters as Oscar Peterson, Lou Levy, Paul Smith, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Louie Bellson, among others. ELLA FITZGERALD, vocals, on all tracks, with: Lou Levy(p), Herb Ellis(g), Joe Mondragon(b), Stan Levey(d). Oscar Peterson(p), Herb Ellis(g), Ray Brown(b), Louie Bellson(d).
