Two CDs. Many of the most beautiful recordings in Ella Fitzgerald’s catalog were her duets with pianists. The freedom afforded by this simple configuration resulted in some of her most sensitive, affecting and heartfelt work. This collection assembles every recording Ella made in the piano duo format for the Decca, Verve and Pablo labels. It includes 1950’s Ella Sings Gershwin, 1954’s Songs In A Mellow Mood and 1956’s Let No Man Write My Epitaph, all in one package for the first time.
