Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996) bola americká jazzová speváčka preslávená hlasovým rozsahom, precíznou dikciou a majstrovstvom v scatovom speve. Svoju kariéru začínala s orchestrom Chicka Webba, po ktorého smrti v roku 1939 viedla súbor sama, kým sa vydala na sólovú dráhu.
Album Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers And Hart Song Book na LP vychádza v remasterovanej edícii Acoustic Sounds. Nahrávka prináša interpretácie songbooku skladateľského dua Richarda Rodgersa a Lorenza Harta, ktorého piesne patria k pilierom amerického populárneho spevníka. Fitzgerald tu predvádza svoj cit pre melódiu a text na štandardoch ako The Lady Is A Tramp, My Funny Valentine či Blue Moon. Vinylové vydanie zachytáva jazzový vokál v autentickom zvukovom podaní.
