Well, here we go again! I’m tring to find words to describe Ella at her peak, which she surely must be here. A Force of Nature? – Not too far off – Her singing here just has to be heard to be believed – powerfull, soulfull, inventiveand always beautiful. And when she swings! Hold on for dear life, baby! Jazz and pop singing simply does not get better than this. PERFECTION. […]

Although this was not her most essential release, the formerly obscure Get Happy finds Ella Fitzgerald at the peak of her powers. […]
