Using the wonders of modern technology, Decca and Verve have paired Ella Fitzgerald’s iconic vocals with new arrangements featuring the London Symphony Orchestra.

This has resulted in striking and invigorating renditions of her beloved recordings such as “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” (duet with Louis Armstrong), “Let’s Do It… Let’s Fall in Love” and the classic title track. The album also features a “duet” with new vocals from Gregory Porter as he joins Ella on “People Say We’re In Love”, rendering this soon-to-be modern classic is simply unmissable.

‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ showcases Ella’s unparalleled classic vocals, backed by newly recorded string arrangements performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios

Arrangements by James Morgan (Alfie Boe, Katherine Jenkins) and Jorge Calandrelli (Michael Bublé, Tony Bennett, Lady GaGa)

Guests vocalists include Gregory Porter on “People Will Say We’re in Love” and Louis Armstrong on “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”
