Too Marvelous For Words (Pure magic).......2007-07-13

I first came across the voice of Ella Fitzgerald via the 1988 movie Torch Song Trilogy. The movie was eye opening and life changing for me on so many levels. In a way, although of course I was unaware of it at the time, it was also a glimpse into my future. I wept for hours afterwards even though I didn't fully realise what I was weeping about. If only I knew then what I know now.

Anyway, Ella's "This Time The Dream's On Me" was used more than once during the course of the film and it also accompanied the closing credits. I fell in love with the song immediately. I was out searching for the soundtrack soon after but to my dismay when I eventually found it, the song was not listed. (I learned later that legal complications meant that the song couldn't be included). Further research and searching led to this songbook and I immediately bought it on vinyl. I couldn't get enough of Ella's voice after that and have since bought a considerable number of her albums on both vinyl and CD (I love the Songbooks especially) but somehow, this is the one I always keep coming back to. I've now finally got it on CD and while the cover art is different to what was on my LP version (although it is noted as the "original cover art"), I'm pleased to see that they have at least kept the songs in the same running order.

According to the sticker label on the front of the CD, "Johnny Mercer is the only only lyricist Ella saluted in her celebrated Songbook series. Benefiting from the brilliant arranging skills of Nelson Riddle, she once again summons her peerless gift for interpreting song - a lovely, and telling, album." This was also the last of Fitzgerald's songbooks for Verve.

As usual, it's the ballads that do it for me the most: "Early Autumn", "Day In, Day Out", "Laura", "This Time The Dream's On Me", "Skylark", "Single-O", "Trav'lin' Light", "Midnight Sun", "Dream", "I Remember You" and "When A Woman Loves A Man" all have to be heard to be believed. I simply don't have the words to adequately describe the magic on offer here. What I can say though, is that one of my favourite things about this album, aside from Ella's perfect pitch, exquisite phrasing and faultless timing, is the way she improvises on the melodies during the course of the songs. She was obviously much more than a singer; she was a jazz musician and her voice was her instrument. Nowhere is that more evident to me, than on this album.

As one might expect from Mercer songs, it's the lyrics that are especially worth looking out for here. "You're much too much, and just too very very/ To ever be, in Webster's dictionary," she sings in "Too Marvelous For Words", another of my favourites. But my best-loved song of all on here is "I Remember You". As someone who's suffered bereavement in the past, the lyrics have a personal significance. Ella sings: "When my life is through/ And the angels ask me to recall, the thrill of them all/ Then I shall tell them, I remember you."

Reduces me to tears every time.

Flawless production from Norman Granz and Nelson Riddle's orchestration is almost of another world. This is without a doubt, one of my favourite albums ever. Pure magic.

Also worth checking out is With My Lover Beside Me, an album Nancy Wilson did back in 1991, singing the lyrics of Johnny Mercer along to the music of Barry Manilow. It's a different kind of magic but magic nonetheless. Highly recommended.

Swing and sing along with Ella !!!.......2007-07-04

Ella Fitzgerald pays tribute to the great Johnny Mercer with this album of just a few of his greatest hits. Ella's tribute to Johnny is the only songbook she recorded for any lyricist--what an honor she paid to Mercer! Ella handles these beautiful numbers with sensitivity, grace and confidence. The CD proves her incredible vocal skills truly enhanced Johnny Mercer's artistry.

The CD track set begins with "Too Marvelous For Words." The big band style arrangement by Nelson Riddle swings right along with Ella's vocal gymnastics. Great! Ella's excellent diction remains constant as she performs "Too Marvelous For Words." Love that piano with the horns in the middle of "Too Marvelous For Words!" "Day In, Day Out" presents Ella as a co-star with Nelson Riddle's arrangement; together Ella's voice and the musicians complement each other perfectly. Ella even scats a bit! What a fantastic love ballad.

"Laura" comes from the movie of the same name; and the key changes on the musical arrangement work well. Ella sings this sweetly with great sensitivity which, combined with the music, gives "Laura" a haunting quality. Excellent! Ella swings ever so gently as she tells the story of how a man sees his former wife everywhere he goes. The horns and the strings bolster "Laura," too.

"Skylark" starts with a beautiful flute arrangement; when Ella comes in the number shines like polished gold! Ella swings gently just as she did on "Laura;" and this works wonders for "Skylark." On the other hand, "Something's Gotta Give" gives us a bouncy, upbeat number that swings brightly. Ella delivers this with all her heart and the effect is absolutely electric! Ella never misses a note; and Nelson Riddle's arrangement uses the horns and percussion to carry the bulk of the melody. Listen for that sax solo, too--it's flawless.

"Dream" features Ella singing a rarely heard opening verse. The arrangement backs up Ella while Ella takes the spotlight for "Dream." "Dream" is a romantic ballad; and the tempo is slightly faster than normal to add a bit of "bounce" and energy to this number. In addition, "I Remember You" gets the royal treatment from Ella and Nelson Riddle. "I Remember You" features Ella starting with a solo piano in the background and then the tune uses horns, Ella's vocals and a slower than normal tempo to make "I Remember You" a true masterpiece. Only Johnny Mercer could write lyrics like these!

The liner notes have a miniature replica of the reverse of the record album jacket with its essay about Ella and this album by Benny Green. Samuel Brylawski also contributes an essay about this album. The picture of Ella singing on the CD front cover shows good taste.

Ella Fitzgerald gives us a special, rare treat with her songbook album of numbers by the immortal Johnny Mercer. In Ella's competent hands, Johnny Mercer's lyrics shine brighter than ever before. Ella's flawless singing on this album will brighten your day as you listen and you'll know after you listen just once that this CD is a keeper.

I highly recommend this CD for Ella Fitzgerald fans, Johnny Mercer fans and people who enjoy classic pop vocals.

GOOD SONGS, GOOD VOCAL, SHORT SET, SOME UNUSUAL ARRANGEMENTS........2006-08-25

For some reason, at the time of its original release, it was decided to make this a single record set. Budget was probably the issue. Most of Ella's songbooks were at least 2 record sets. Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics to many wonderful songs that could easily have filled a second record here. Ms. Fitzgerald, in fact, recorded many other Mercer tunes on other Verve albums.

There are several standouts, without question, which, overall makes this quite an enjoyable listening experience. [My favorites are "Too Marvelous for Words," and "This Time The Dream's on Me." I also particularly enjoy "Skylark," "Midnight Sun," and "I Remember You."] However, some of the arrangements [by the normally incomparable Nelson Riddle] have a '50s noir-movie underpinning that I find not so enjoyable. The horns, in particular, in spots on a few of the selections, sound a bit dissonant. Plus, most of the set is skewed toward a laid-back feel, where a few additional swingers could have been included to make it a more rounded effort.

SEMI-ESSENTIAL FOR THE SONGBOOK COLLECTOR OR FOR BIG ELLA FANS LIKE ME. OTHERWISE, A GOOD, THOUGH NOT OUTSTANDING, EFFORT.

Ella sings what Johnny wrote..........2005-10-05

A legendary lyricist was Johnny Mercer, from the thirties "Hooray for Hollywood" to the sixties "Moon River", Mr. Mercer added his poetic vision to enhance beautiful melodies. Miss Fitzgerald recorded this tribute to, "The Man from Charleston", for Verve Records in her songbook cycle. I particularly like this one for, Mercer wrote lyrics with some of the best composers in America. The disc contains, "Midnight Sun" written by Lionel Hampton, "Laura" by David Raksin, "This Time The Dreams On Me" by Harold Arlen and Mercer's own music and lyrics, the haunting, "Dream". Great arrangements and Ella's impeccable phrasing add up to a sumptious tribute to a wonderful talent.

What a difference a songbook makes!.......2004-07-08

Would Ella held onto her place in Americana if not for her songbooks? I love the majority of them. She may well been relegated to novelty singer because of her Decca material. Starting in 1956 new manager, Norman Granz, had her record on his own Verve label the best & most enduring of America's music. Ella recorded albums that will always be in stores, catalogs, & on line. Mainly, the Songbooks and Nelson Riddle arranged material. Every song here was not defintive but collectively they sparkled! Johnny Mercer wrote so many great lyrics & a few good melodies that had this been a bigger collection, like her massive Gershwin, it could had very well been *****. Other reasons it's only **** are the including of the medicore SINGLE-O & WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN & Ella's flatness on DAY IN-DAY OUT & SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE. Still, Ella had class, diction, good taste when alllowed, & a great swinging flair.

Sweet, soft and easy!.......2004-07-15

This CD is a treat to own! Johnny Mercer was a very good singer-something not many people recognize! I would highly recommend this CD for people who enjoy great music by such composers as Harold Arlen (That Old Black Magic," "Come Rain or Come Shine") or Henry Mancini ("Moon River"). (Yes, these songs are on this CD.) I would agree with Joshua (another reviewer of this CD) when he says that some of the songs have a distinct `70s sound to them-but, then again, who cares? All the songs are performed very well-and if you like that `70s sound you will enjoy this album even more.

The liner notes are well written and there are a few very good photos of Mercer and some of his assistants at the time these songs were recorded in 1974. The sound quality is excellent.

Johnny Mercer CDs are not too easy to find; he didn't make many albums. This CD is an excellent portrait of Mercer's work as a singer. He was a very talented lyricist as many people know; now we can appreciate his fine talents even more as we hear him sing the wonderful lyrics he wrote! A BUY! GRIN

Mercer Magic.......2000-10-21

My first encounter with Johnny Mercer, singer, was listening to his duets with Bing Crosby. It was a shock to realize that such a wondrous lyricist could also be a first-rate singer as well. His is a pleasant voice, very easy to listen to. And, of course, the fact that he the fact that he wrote the lyrics he sings gives his interpretation a certain authority no other singer can match. The arrangements are a bit dated (a disco beat on "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" and "That Old Black Magic"?), but in spite of such egregious missteps (i just skip those tracks) this is still a CD well worth having.

ROSIE AT HER BEST.......2000-11-12

Our huckleberry friend would be happy to hear that great tribute from ROSIE.Her heart warming voice does wonders with songs like WHEN OCTOBER GOES and I REMEMBER YOU.I personally would have appreciated if she had made another cd of JOHNNY's songs(after all, he wrote overa thousand)But as it is, its perfect and can match ELLA,s 1964 tribute album all the way.JOHNNY MERCER wasn't really a cowhand from the rio grande ,but he was a true AMERICAN who really loved his country.So what are you waiting?rise up of your seat and get that album,or get it by mail with AMAZON if you can't walk.

Jazz wannabees should take a listen and a lesson..........2000-10-26

From the utterance of the very first sentence in track one, a voice comes shining through with the maturity and trademark honey-coated husky sound that only a Rosemary Clooney in the prime of her life can deliver. I've recently adopted this fascination for discovering her old songs for the very first time and find that I'm sorry that I waited so long to hear them.

Clooney's albums consistently entertain us with an old sound that is new again, without re-enacting some worn-out old standard. Although this album has a few very familiar songs with unique arrangements, like the majority of her albums, she selects quality songs we've seldom heard (if ever) that seem to fit her voice like a glove. Dear listener finds the music relaxing and the kind of sound that does so without putting us to sleep. For all those jazz wannabees out there trying to copy the sound, take a listen and a lesson from Ms. Rosemary, but give up trying to imitate her, ...can't be done.

ROSIE IS DEFINETLY THE SUPERSTAR WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT.......2000-06-28

I have followed Rosies' career for many years. It seems that every year she gets beter and better. This cd is a very good cd. She sings her songs in a very entertaning manner. This cd has the songs of Johnny Mercer, that's good. The only regret i have about this cd, is that Rosie didn't choose more hit songs by Johnny. John Oddo, Rosies' musical director,did a great job on the arrangements. I would strongly recommend this cd.

Top-flight Clooney.......2000-02-24

This is my favorite Clooney CD from the Concord Jazz Series. The selection of songs, the pacing, and the arrangements are all impeccable. Any Place I Hang My Hat is Home receives definitive treatment, as does Dream combined with Hit the Road to Dreamland. Talk to Me Baby never sounded better. Clooney has great fun with GI Jive, Hooray for Hollywood, and Goody Goody. I Remember You is refreshingly done slowly with guitar accompaniment only. There is even a haunting newer song written by Barry Manilow and Mercer, When October Goes. I only wish that Clooney's version of Fools Rush In could be placed here somewhere. It was recorded later for the soundtrack to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, another wonderful collection of Johnny Mercer songs by various artists including Diana Krall, Joe Williams, kd lang, and even Kevin Spacey!

Johnny Mercer was probably the best of the American Songwriters, whether he wrote alone or with such great partners as Harold Arlen or Hoagy Carmichael(no slouches in music either). Johnny wrote enough songs for at least a 4 or 5 volume collection, but this will do in a pinch. One of my favorites of the many Mercer collections out there, I own this on tape & am ready to get it on cd. Highly recommended!
