The Irving Berlin Songbook Test Pressing

Ella Fitzgerald's “Songbook” records, with her peerless renditions of the best songs from iconic composers from Irving Berlin to Rodgers and Hart to Cole Porter to George and Ira Gershwin and more, are the cornerstone of the Verve catalog and the veritable standard for jazz vocal recordings. As influential as these albums were in the history of jazz and American Popular Songs, Ella Fitzgerald never released a live version of these songbooks. This landmark record, discovered in the private collection of producer Norman Granz, will make the first time a live songbook has been released from the first lady of song. Tracklist: Side A 1.
