Hear the “First Lady of Song”, like never before, with the new digital release of Someone To Watch Over Me that pairs Ella’s exquisite original recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra, set for release on 29 September and available for. Features newly orchestrated and arranged performances with a bevy of top tier talent that includes Oscar and Grammy Award winning arranger Jorge Calandrelli, as well as James Morgan and Jorge Calandrelli who both served as conductors for the symphony sessions that were recorded at Abbey Road Studios. The collection encapsulates the prolific period in Ella’s career from 1950 to 1961, during her historic relationship with Decca Records and later Verve (founded by her manager Norman Granz) that includes Ella’s first recording for Verve, ‘I Get A Kick Out of You’, from in 1956, to the standard, ‘Misty’ and the Gershwin title track, ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’, as well as two duets with on ‘Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off’ and ‘They Can’t Take Away From Me’ from their. Another remarkable duet makes an appearance, this time with Grammy Award winning jazz vocalist who lent his vocals to the classic show tune ‘People Will Say We’re In Love’ from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Oklahoma. Porter reflected on Ella’s legacy, when recording the duet, saying “For me, I think Ella’s influence on the current state of jazz is significant in that many singers, both male and female try to achieve the clarity and beauty of her sound. She had this gorgeous, pure light voice and yet, she could get down and dirty with a song and she would just really let go and turn into a blues singer.” When it came to song selections to rearrange, producers Juliette Pochin and James Morgan focused their attentions on Ella’s early mono recordings as a the ideal framework for the orchestral additions. “They gave us the potential to do something transformative with the sound”, Pochin explained.
These early recordings were very sparse, with often only Ellis Larkins on piano, or a small band that included Ella’s husband Ray Brown on bass. As a result, the minimal instrumental immediately opened up lots of possibilities for adding an orchestra”. Co-producer James Morgan also spoke on the delicate balance of the project, saying “For tracks where we didn’t need to extract the vocal, we were forever giving thanks for the incredible quality of the original recordings – the vocal right up front, rich and warm.

We constantly marvelled at how amazing, faultless and natural her vocal sounded without all the so-called expertise we use to record in this day and age.” This new collection is just one of the remarkable releases that have been part of celebrating Ella Fitzgerald’s this year, that started with the 4CD box set titled as well as, a limited edition 6LP vinyl box set that recreates the original LP collection, plus rare bonus tracks.
