OJC vinyl reissue.  Booker Ervin is amazing on this LP (Well, he's simply amazing on just about everything he recorded.).

Minty Verve stereo pressing.  This album brings Fitzgerald together with Frank DeVol and a full string section.  I usually don't care for strings with my jazz as I feel it dilutes the music too much and turns it into something that you might expect from, say, Jo Stafford.  This is probably one of the very few jazz with strings records that I like.  Stan Getz provides some nice tenor playing on this album but there is not enough of it.  The real attraction here is Ella singing with a string section.

I've had this for months, still haven't put it on yet. :duh

Guess I'll have to correct that.

I guess great minds think alike. That was the first thought I had when I saw the post - who the heck is Leon Burns?
