Back Cover:

Digitally remastered three CD set containing the 1959 five LP set plus bonus material. Ella Fitzgerald Sings The George & Ira Gershwin Songbook was one of the most ambitious of the celebrated songbooks recorded by Ella and one of the best vocal Jazz albums ever made. All of Ella's original performances are contained here, along with the two opening instrumental pieces that were included on a separate disc with the original LP set. As a bonus, we have added Ella's complete first attempt at recording a Gershwin songbook, the 1950 10-inch Decca LP Ella Sings Gershwin, which presents the singer in eight amazing duets with pianist Ellis Larkins. A single Gershwin duet by Ella and Larkins recorded in 1954 closes our set. Essential Jazz Classics.
