Ella Fitzgerald专辑介绍:by Scott YanowSurprisingly enough this 1963 LP was the first time (other than a couple songs) that Ella Fitzgerald andCount Basierecorded together. The match-up was so logical that it would be repeated many times over the next 20 years. Fitzgerald sounds fine and, even ifQuincy Jones' arrangements did not give theBasiemusicians much space for solos (two songs do feature a bit of trumpeterJoe Newman, trombonistUrbie GreenandFrank Fosteron tenor), this is an enjoyable effort. High points include "Honeysuckle Rose," "Them There Eyes" and "Shiny Stockings." [Originally released in 1963, Ella and Basie! was reissued on CD in 2004.]
