Verve Jazz Masters 46: The Jazz Sides

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

By its very nature, this (pretty decent) collection is only appealing to complete newcomers.
Though preferable to the obscure budget compilations available here and there (being issued by Verve with some care), it still should be considered as a way to take a taste at things, and not as something that really present an interest to collect.
