Ella Fitzgerald • Lady Time
Review by Scott Yanow
This LP places Ella Fitzgerald (then 60) in an unusual setting. Joined only by organist Jackie Davis and drummer Louie Bellson, she tackles a wide variety of material that ranges from "I'm Walkin'" and "I Cried for You" to "Mack the Knife" (which did not need to be remade) and "And the Angels Sing." Not one of her more essential releases, Lady Time does show that even at this fairly late stage in her career, Fitzgerald could outswing just about anyone.
Note:
In my opinion, Scott Yanow has not perceived the beauty of this recording, Ella and Jackie in perfect conjunction, accompanied by the omnipresent and delicate battery of Louie Bellson, without the grandiloquence of an orchestral support, Ella gives her voice to all its splendor.

Traducción Automática:
Este LP coloca a Ella Fitzgerald (entonces 60) en un entorno inusual. Ensamblado solo por el organista Jackie Davis y la baterista Louie Bellson, aborda una amplia variedad de material que va desde "I'm Walkin '" y "I Cried for You" hasta "Mack the Knife" (que no necesitó ser rehecho) y "Y los ángeles cantan". No es uno de sus lanzamientos más esenciales, Lady Time demuestra que incluso en esta etapa bastante avanzada de su carrera, Fitzgerald podría superar a cualquiera.
Nota:
En mi opinion, Scott Yanow no ha percibido la belleza de esta grabación, Ella y Jackie en perfecta conjunción, acompañados de la omnipresente y delicada batería de Louie Bellson, sin la grandilocuencia de un soporte orquestal, Ella brinda su voz en todo su esplendor.
