DESCRIPTION:
mister_fusspot said A Feast of Information. This is an extraordinarily thorough yet easily accessible survey of one of the world's most exhaustive recording careers. Aside from a few maddening typos (typical of all such books) you could not ask for a better-crafted discography. Perhaps an updated edition could include thumbnail images of the artwork -- at $[price] a pop, that seems like a reasonable request. Otherwise, this is essentially just a database that could be shifted to the web.
Part One includes a chronological listing of all known recorded performances of both Chick Webb and Ella. The book also has an index of album and CD recordings, and composers, lyricists and musicians.. Part Three is an annotated alphabetical listing of all songs contained on all of Fitzgerald's records, with detailed information on each song's composer, lyricist, and history. This volume also contains a complete discography (1927-1939) for drummer and bandleader Chick Webb, with whom Ella began her recording career in 1935. This volume is as complete a discography of her recorded songs as currently seems possible to compile. Part Two gives the complete contents of Ella's LPs and CDs, including track listings, titles (with lyricists and composers) and timings. Ella Fitzgerald was one of America's greatest jazz singers. Reviews of the movies in which Ella appeared and surveys of her career with the Decca, Verve and Pablo music companies are included
