I have to say that this album is a disappointment. It just doesn't gel. On many Ella just doesn't sound musically involved and many of the tempos are just wrong. I have to question the choice of some of the arrangements. If you are a casual Ella fan, then skip this one. If you are a diehard Ella fan, then buy it last! If you haven't already heard the album "Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim", then drop what you're doing and order it; it is unsurpassed. (make sure you get the Remastered version) Also, Sinatra and Jobim started to record a sequel and the bulk of it appears on the album "Sinatra and Company". Buy that album for the first 7 songs, the rest of the album is 70's pop-schlock. Who knows why!!!
