Ella Fitzgerald was arguably the greatest jazz vocalist of her generation; Billie Holiday was her only real rival, and while Holiday's demons took a toll on her voice and abilities over time, Fitzgerald remained a remarkably gifted and capable performer to the very end of her career. Blessed with a gorgeous voice and an uncanny sense of pitch, Fitzgerald's phrasing was bold, artful, and emotionally resonant, and her scat singing revealed instincts as a soloist that would have done any horn player proud. This volume in the Verve Ultimate Cool series collects 11 songs recorded during Fitzgerald's 1956-1966 tenure with the noted jazz label Verve Records, and relies on the standards that were always Ella's bread and butter. If there isn't much here that would surprise a longtime Fitzgerald fan, her body of work was strong enough that surprises weren't much needed; Ella sounds strong and confident on every track, whether she's rolling gracefully with a big band on "Stormy Weather" or kicking up some dust with a small combo as she scats through "Oh Lady Be Good," and this material leaves no questions about her mastery as a song stylist. Given the dozens of Ella Fitzgerald collections available, Verve Ultimate Cool doesn't really stand out as something striking or remarkable, but if you want to relax with some material from one of the finest singers who ever stood before a microphone, this will serve the purpose well, and there isn't a moment here that isn't a joy to hear.
