Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Johnny Mercer Song Book (Pure DSD)
This transfer is easily the best digital version of this classic title that exists; I can't recommend it highly enough!!

Ella Fitzgerald - Sings The Johnny Mercer Song Book
Another fantastic performance delivered. Powerful and delicate, just outstanding.
This often overlooked gem is not to be missed
Something of an overlooked gem, this collaboration by The First Lady of Song with Nelson Riddle's excellent arrangements is not to be missed. Ella Fitzgerald was frequently at her inimitable best when singing to arrangements by Riddle. Of her various Song Book recordings for Verve, I often think this is her most successful. Her voice and delivery just perfectly suit the urbane lyrics of Johnny Mercer. Several of the other song books were more popular (Gershwin, Cole Porter), but that does not mean they were better, or as well executed. The transfer directly from the tape to DSD256 is excellent. Very clean, very clear, very low noise floor. It is a better transfer in every way than the 24-96 HD Tracks release I have. In this HDTT release, there is depth, texture, harmonic richness and frequency extension in the sound. The HD Tracks sounds superficial and hard by comparison, stripped of harmonic overtones. Well done, HDTT.
Amazing Ella in DSD256
