Ella Fitzgerald • Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs From Let No Man Write My Epitaph

 

Epitaph Review by Scott Yanow
This is a most unusual Ella Fitzgerald recording. Recorded around the time when she performed some of these songs for the film Let No Man Write My Epitaph, the masterful singer is heard in duets with pianist Paul Smith interpreting 13 songs (even "I Cried for You," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "Who's Sorry Now?") at slow expressive tempos. Listeners who feel that Ella Fitzgerald was mostly a scat singer who had trouble giving the proper emotional intensity to lyrics will be surprised by this sensitive and often-haunting set.

Crítica de Epitaph por Scott Yanow
Esta es una grabación de Ella Fitzgerald de lo más inusual. Grabada alrededor de la época en que interpretó algunas de estas canciones para la película Let No Man Write My Epitaph, se escucha a la magistral cantante a dúo con el pianista Paul Smith interpretando 13 canciones (incluso "I Cried for You", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" y "Who's Sorry Now?") a tempos lentos y expresivos. Los oyentes que piensen que Ella Fitzgerald era sobre todo una cantante de scat a la que le costaba dar la intensidad emocional adecuada a las letras se sorprenderán con este conjunto sensible y a menudo sobrecogedor.
