For Ella’s 100th birthday, Verve has issued a very special project: the original LP re-release of Ella’s most elaborate project of all time, the George And Ira Gershwin Songbook. Verve has spared no expense and effort and has reissued the box set with all the details of the time: 5 LPs and a 10 “LP, all in 180-gram and remastered. Also includes five large-format lithographs by the artist Bernard Buffet and a 40-page hardcover book, Capturing Ella at the peak of her artistic powers, this six LP collection offers up some of the most definitive Gershwin interpretations ever recorded. Featuring superb arrangements by Nelson Riddle, songs here include “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “My One And Only,” “Oh, Lady, Be Good,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” “‘S Wonderful”, “Someone to Watch Over Me” and many more.
