For over sixty years the world was blessed indeed to be in the presence of Ella Fitzgerald. Presented here, for the first time ever, is the most comprehensive single-CD sampling of the Ella Fitzgerald Verve recordings, including tracks ranging from her various collaborations with legendary jazzmen like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie, to the intimacy of her duet with pianist Paul Smith, to her classic interpretations of The Great American Songbook. This is the music that is Pure Ella.
