Chick Webb & His Orchestra - Featuring Ella Fitzgerald
2007 CD release.
Radio broadcasts of 1939 are the source of this extraordinary collection of tunes played by the Chick Webb Orchestra.
One of the most respected bandleaders and drummers of swing, Webb is credited with an undefeated record in his Battles of the Bands at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem (including a victory over Benny Goodman in 1937) and with having discovered Ella Fitzgerald, who positively shimmers on ballads like "That Was My Heart" and "Deep in a Dream."
