AllMusic[1]

Gold is a two-disc compilation album by Ella Fitzgerald that was released on the Verve Records label in 2007. The 40 tracks span Fitzgerald's career from 1938 to 1964.

Music

[edit]

The first disc contains material originally released by Decca Records; the second is taken from Verve releases.[2] The 40 tracks were recorded between May 1938 and October 1964.[1]

The JazzTimes reviewer commented that "Fitzgerald's fiery early collaborations with Chick Webb, Louis Jordan, Sy Oliver, Louis Armstrong and others bring the Decca half to a boil, and well-chosen selections from the Songbook recordings more than adequately characterize the sizzling Fitzgerald of the '50s and '60s."[2]
