Jazz overload almost made me give up on this project altogether, but thankfully I changed my mind.
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book
I had to be in the right mood to tackle this one and that is why it has been so long since the last update. Wasn't sure if I could stomach 3+ hours of jazz, but the time passed in a flash and I liked Ella's voice so much that I want to hear her other songbooks too.
Fav: Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
For some reason I have never really warmed to the music of Ray Charles and I must say that listening to this album didn't change that. Plus, isn't it a bit bigheaded to call yourself a genius?
Fav: Alexander's Ragtime Band
Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs
This is a kick-ass album. Makes me want to go watch old Westerns or play some Red Dead Redemption.
Fav: Big Iron
Oh look, more jazz to end the decade. Aside from the wonderful "Take Five" nothing much really stood out for me here.
