BD Jazz, Volume 6: Ella Fitzgerald / Steg

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

An original approach to the compilation market: each release in this serie features a selection of tracks from the musician (yeah, that's a compilation) which are then illustrated by a renowned comics artist, making this (at least) a more attracting object than the usual poorly packaged random bundles.
It still is as pointless as any other compilation for the real fan, but it might act as a very nice gift for the younger or the newcomers.
Price is reasonable (while not being exactly "budget").
If you usually dig "easy" compilations, this is one of the best.
