Product Description
Arranged by Frank DeVol and enlivened by what the liner notes described as, the sensitive, poignant saxophone solos of Stan Getz on four tracks, Ella Fitzgerald s album Like Someone In Love was (not surprisingly) targeted at people in love. But its real audience, then as now, was anyone who loves timeless songs impeccably sung. What was timeless in 1957 still is today.

Beautiful ballads beautifully sung by a master (forgive the term) of her craft. Anyone interested in Ella Fitzgerald's music should certainly also become familiar with the generous assortment of traditional jazz, swing and uptempo standards she has recorded, but this album is a unique assortment of standards in which Ella manages to perfectly balance the beauty, the melancholy, the hope, the despair, the many shadings of romantic love. Frank DeVol's flawless orchestrations are a perfect complement to a magnificent vocalist at the top of her form. 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful Ballads By One Of The Best, By This review is from: Like Someone in Love (Audio CD) There's not too much more to say that hasn't already been said. This album was originally recorded about 1957 and has Stan Getz guesting on about 4 tracks. Although, Ella turned out some fine songbooks, this is the only album (still call them that....since my original was on vinyl) that I have where she sings strictly ballad standards with an orchestral background. Her voice was great, the delivery is smooth and appealing, and the cd is definitely late night music for relaxing or romancing.If ballads, Ella, standards, vocals with orchestral backgrounds are your thing..... any one or in combination......you can't go wrong with this! |
