Ella Fitzgerald - Airmail Special (2005)

Blessed with a beautiful voice and a wide range, Fitzgerald could outswing anyone, was a brilliant scat singer, and had near-perfect elocution; one could always understand the words she sang. The Quadromania series contain 4 CD's, all original recordings. After the transfer of old masters (Shellack, vinyl, tape, etc.) to the lastest technology, they are cleaned very carefully and processed to get the best results in clearness and sound. This gives you a warm and more analog sounding record than you've ever heard on CD. This CD collection is a good compliation of Ella.
