Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Music Studios East). SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video. The First Lady Of Song is widely regarded as the finest female jazz singer of all time, and has exerted an influence over American popular music that is incalculable, though SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR gives it a shot. This 32-track, career-spanning double set serves as a companion to PBS's popular "American Masters" series and offers, for the first time on one collection, a retrospective of Ella Fitzgerald's two most important periods: the Decca years (1935-55), and her Verve years (1956-66). "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" was the first of many hits she had with the Chick Webb Orchestra, while "How High the Moon" and a live take of "Goody, Goody" show off her remarkable gift for inventive and often humorous scat. There are five selections from her celebrated "Songbook" series, and other rare gems with Ella fronting the orchestras of Duke Ellington, Nelson Riddle and others. With her clear, pristine tone, masterful articulation, and the ability to out-swing anybody any time, Ella Fitzgerald was a singular musical force whose rich legacy continues to reward listeners.   Compilation Appearances Vol. 2-Big Bands Of The Swingi Big Bands Of The Swinging Years Drum Battle Priceless Jazz Priceless Jazz Sampler English Patient Best Christmas Ever French Kiss Girl From Ipanema-Jobim Songb Vol. 15-Wild Cool & Swingin' T Anthology 1931-1968 Complete Jazz At The Philharmo Wave-The Antonio Carlos Jobim Night & Day Complete Gershwin Songbooks Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Fine Romance-Songbook Rodgers & Hart Songbook Complete Cole Porter Songbooks Vol. 2-Cole Porter Songbook Let The Good Times Roll 1938-1954 Ultimate Christmas Gigi Gershwin Jazz 'round Midnight Have Yourself A Jazzy Little C Ultimate Collection G.I.
