To Ella With Love
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Jazz-cabaret chanteuse Ann Hampton Callaway pays tribute to the First Lady of Song in To Ella with Love, a 1996 recording rereleased in 1999 as a companion to her small-ensemble album, Easy Living. Here Callaway is supported by a full band anchored by pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Lewis Nash, while Wynton Marsalis sits in for two numbers. "How High the Moon" begins in a loping gait before catching fire and including the inevitable scat solo. While Callaway doesn't include any of her own songs among this collection of standards, it's one of her best albums. --David Horiuchi

Outstanding Recording.......2007-04-04
Recently saw Ann in person with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. Album is excellent, and seeing her performance in person was outstanding.
Frenetic and white but good.......2007-01-04
A bit hysterical and baroque, but the talent is undeniable.
Takes Some Getting Used To.......2006-11-29
Having been a fan of both Ella and Ann the fusion of them intrigued me. With Ella's ownership as a premise, this album surely took some getting used to. But in its own way, Ann's redefinition of the songs is sublime. One of my absolute favorites being "That Old Black Magic", which (imho) has never been done quite as beautifully as on this album. The missing star is due to the 'unoriginality' any cover-album bears with it. Still, Ann's love for Ella shines through very clearly, which makes her - and this album - even more endearing.
I changed my tune.......2005-06-12
I did not think I would care all that much for this album. I bought it only because I really like Ann Hampton Callaway and wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did and it was worth it!
As the title implies, this is a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. These were Ella songs but Ann has made them hew own. A few, like "I got it bad", evoke the original but for the most part, these are done in Callaway's own impressive style. It is a product that she can be proud of and which Ella Fitzgerald can be proud of as well. For the most part, the tempos a slowed down a bit from those which Fitzgerald would have used but that fits Callaway's style. In short, it works.
One of Ann's BEST.......2005-05-23
I agree, this is one of Ann's best recordings, and I have them all. She's flawless - pitch always right on; and totally creative in her style. To top it off she's backed by a stellar group of musicians.

Back to when I believed in fairy tales...........2002-09-30
If you could, just for a moment, return to the days when fairy godmothers were real, when you really could turn four white mice into four white horses - then just buy this CD for a few smiles, a lot of memories, and the original Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes. This CD took me way back to when magic was there, and now it makes me wonder, everytime I listen to it, if maybe the magic isn't still there? Maybe I should just call on my fairy godmother..... A true heirloom of a CD.
The Glass Slipper Fits!.......2001-04-21
This is an excellent compilation of songs that express the longings, fears and exuberance of the Cinderella story. Rather than just relying of the romantic side of the myth, producer Bruce Kimmel adds depth to the story by including songs from The Slipper and The Rose and Sondheim's Into the Woods as well as the Disney and Roger & Hammerstein Cinderella versions.
When Susan Egan plans her strategy in "Promise Him Anything" and Pamela Winslow expresses her fear in "On the Steps of the Palace," the listener becomes aware of Cinderella's human side. Likewise, when Christa Moore shares her fantasy world "In My Own Corner" and Christina Noll expresses her thrill of her dream coming true in "Impossible/Suddenly It Happens," the listener is reminded of the powerful message of Cinderella's theme: dreams DO come true.
Fortunately, the compilation does not exclude humor as well. "The Stepsister's Lament" by Farah Alvin and Alet Oury is hilariously poignant; the lyrics "Why would a fellow want a girl like her? A frail and frocky beauty!" could be the alltime wallflowers' lament. And Jonathan Freeman's "What Has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?" is a droll piece of practical cynicism to his Prince son. (The song reminds me of the film Moonstruck. When Olympia DuKakis asks her daughter Cher, "Do you love him?" When Cher answered affirmatively, her mother muttered, "That's bad.")
Also, the musical bridges add to the suspense of the Cinderella story. "Midnight", "The Ball," and "If The Shoe Fits" from Prokofiev's ballet are beautifully orchestrated and remind the listener that the Cinderella myth is adaptable for many forms of entertainment.
I was a little disappointed that "So This is Love" and "The Work Song" was not included, but I guess I'm partial to the Disney version. The 1950 cartoon was my first introduction to Cinderella, and to my delight, my nephew enjoyed it as well thirty years later.
Nevertheless, this CD shows the timeless appeal of the Cinderella myth. Its beauty, humor and suspense is contained here in this magnificent collection.
Magical collection fit for a princess!.......1999-04-13
I was thrilled to come across this collection. One of my favorite movies, The Slipper and the Rose, had been out of print for many years. This CD includes 4 of the songs from that movie and though not by the original artists, just as good. The songs range from the whimsical to the romantic to a few comic gems, all from various stage and film Cinderella scores. "Tell Him Anything" from the Slipper and the Rose, a powerful song filled with longing and despair is sung movingly by Susan Egan, a nice change of pace from the cheerier, more sparkling numbers.
The score from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is so charming and catchy it's fun to hear it again by new artists. The performers, all apparently Broadway singers (?), are all beautifully performed with exuberance and style. The orchestration is lush and appropriate to the material.
Fabuloso!!!! A must have!!!!.......1998-08-11
This is an AWESOME cd. It has songs from the original Rodgers and Hammerstein version, the Disney version, and Into the Woods. This is a faboulos collection of songs. Definetly buy it. NOW!!!!!

Strange interpretation of "classical".......2005-01-17
I bought this CD because it contained some songs I was having a hard time finding elsewhere, such as Passo pel prat, Chants d'Auvergne sung by Fredrica Von Stade. However, some of the songs on this CD do not seem to belong e.g. all three songs by John Williams, Mack the Knife, Barbra Streisand, and the Psycho Murder Theme for starters, and many more.
I gave the CD 4 stars only because I was happy that I was able to find a few somewhat rare tracks.
An interesting mix..........2002-05-18
This is a sampler in the truest meaning of the word. I bought this 4 CD work primarly for two tracks, but also because I was interested to see what else was out there without investing a fortune in CD's I wouldn't like! I was surprised by the wide diversity of music ranging from true classical and jazz to contemporary compositions and interpretations.
While I find some tracks divine (Williams's _Schindler's List_), I find other tracks unsettling (_Beau Soir_ performed by Barbra Streisand). But when you are trying to span 100 years of music, you will (and should) encounter all tastes and styles. Overall, I really enjoy listening to this set. My only regret is that I don't have a CD changer...
A touch of history...........2002-01-28

Customer Reviews:
Every last note..........2006-06-14
A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
Every last note!
The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
I think his best work to date.
He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

Jazz-cabaret chanteuse Ann Hampton Callaway pays tribute to the First Lady of Song in To Ella with Love, a 1996 recording rereleased in 1999 as a companion to her small-ensemble album, Easy Living. Here Callaway is supported by a full band anchored by pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Lewis Nash, while Wynton Marsalis sits in for two numbers. "How High the Moon" begins in a loping gait before catching fire and including the inevitable scat solo. While Callaway doesn't include any of her own songs among this collection of standards, it's one of her best albums. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding Recording.......2007-04-04
Recently saw Ann in person with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. Album is excellent, and seeing her performance in person was outstanding.
Frenetic and white but good.......2007-01-04
A bit hysterical and baroque, but the talent is undeniable.
Takes Some Getting Used To.......2006-11-29
Having been a fan of both Ella and Ann the fusion of them intrigued me. With Ella's ownership as a premise, this album surely took some getting used to. But in its own way, Ann's redefinition of the songs is sublime. One of my absolute favorites being "That Old Black Magic", which (imho) has never been done quite as beautifully as on this album. The missing star is due to the 'unoriginality' any cover-album bears with it. Still, Ann's love for Ella shines through very clearly, which makes her - and this album - even more endearing.
I changed my tune.......2005-06-12
I did not think I would care all that much for this album. I bought it only because I really like Ann Hampton Callaway and wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did and it was worth it!
As the title implies, this is a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. These were Ella songs but Ann has made them hew own. A few, like "I got it bad", evoke the original but for the most part, these are done in Callaway's own impressive style. It is a product that she can be proud of and which Ella Fitzgerald can be proud of as well. For the most part, the tempos a slowed down a bit from those which Fitzgerald would have used but that fits Callaway's style. In short, it works.
One of Ann's BEST.......2005-05-23
I agree, this is one of Ann's best recordings, and I have them all. She's flawless - pitch always right on; and totally creative in her style. To top it off she's backed by a stellar group of musicians.

Customer Reviews:
A disc of rare perfection.......2003-06-08
I have had this disc for a year and still play it several times a week. Suede's other two discs are excellent. This one surpasses them by a mile. The songs range from playful to heartbreaking, and every one is perfect. Suede also provides trumpet and guitar solos on several cuts. Anyone who has had the good fortune to see her live must own this CD. Anyone who is a stranger to Suede and her music owes to him-or her-self to check out this wonderful performer.
Jazz Blues singer..........2001-12-31
Imagine a cross between Ella Fitzgerald and Bette
Midler, throw in a little Rosie Clooney, add a dash of
Louis Armstrong, and you might get some idea of
Suede's unique musical talents and abilities.
My Dad was a jazz piano player in the 1950's and 1960's
and I grew up around some of the great jazz giants.
Seeing Suede live and hearing her incredible scatting
definitely brings me back to the great talent from years ago!

Pop Jazz Blues Diva Suede!.......2001-12-31
If you love Jazz you have to hear this CD! It is one of the best!
Jazz at it's best!.......2001-12-27
Suede's crystal clear voice
and amazing range blend smoothly with David Pearl on
piano and Max Murray on bass. If you get a chance to
go to a live show grab it, as they are phenomenal!
The best ever!!.......2001-09-03
I recently saw Suede (DIVA!!) in person, and spoke with her after the show. Not only is she an amazing talent, she is a genuine gal who clearly lives her beauty through her music. If you love jazz, this is the CD to buy!!

Sweet jazzy voice..........2002-05-28
For some reason she reminds me of Julie Andrews without an english accent. Has beautiful phrasing, voice quality, and renditions of classic songs that you will enjoy. I have over 5,000 CD's and I know a winner when I hear it. All 3 of her CD's are fabulous
Pop Jazz Blues Diva.......2001-12-27
Another phenomenal CD by Suede!
Fantastic.......2000-01-30
I love every song on this CD. I've had it for a few years and came to Amazon.com to buy it for a friend. It is not possible to describe how perfect Suede's voice is. You must hear it.
I want more.......1999-12-14
I purchased this cd a few years ago and had to get another. I wore the other out. Suede is a talented artist and her mellow voice is fantastic. She has another great cd called Easily Suede. Buy it .. you'll love it.

Here Callaway is supported by a full band anchored by pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Lewis Nash, while Wynton Marsalis sits in for two numbers. "How High the Moon" begins in a loping gait before catching fire and including the inevitable scat solo. While Callaway doesn't include any of her own songs among this collection of standards, it's one of her best albums. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding Recording.......2007-04-04
Recently saw Ann in person with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. Album is excellent, and seeing her performance in person was outstanding.
Frenetic and white but good.......2007-01-04
A bit hysterical and baroque, but the talent is undeniable.
Takes Some Getting Used To.......2006-11-29
Having been a fan of both Ella and Ann the fusion of them intrigued me. With Ella's ownership as a premise, this album surely took some getting used to. But in its own way, Ann's redefinition of the songs is sublime. One of my absolute favorites being "That Old Black Magic", which (imho) has never been done quite as beautifully as on this album. The missing star is due to the 'unoriginality' any cover-album bears with it. Still, Ann's love for Ella shines through very clearly, which makes her - and this album - even more endearing.
I changed my tune.......2005-06-12
I did not think I would care all that much for this album. I bought it only because I really like Ann Hampton Callaway and wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did and it was worth it!
As the title implies, this is a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. These were Ella songs but Ann has made them hew own. A few, like "I got it bad", evoke the original but for the most part, these are done in Callaway's own impressive style. It is a product that she can be proud of and which Ella Fitzgerald can be proud of as well. For the most part, the tempos a slowed down a bit from those which Fitzgerald would have used but that fits Callaway's style. In short, it works.
One of Ann's BEST.......2005-05-23
I agree, this is one of Ann's best recordings, and I have them all. She's flawless - pitch always right on; and totally creative in her style. To top it off she's backed by a stellar group of musicians.
