G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 5/05/25

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection:

Ella Fitzgerald – The Gershwin Songbook – Rating: 4 / 5

I hate that I’m only giving this a 4, instead of a 5. Ella is one of the all time greats, but a collection that is 3 hours long is a huge ask of any artist. In terms of making a list for a book, an album like this is a good pick, but when converted to a challenge like this it’s a bit harder to swallow. I’m almost done Disc 2 while writing this, but there are still 4 more to go. So as much as I love Ella’s music, this was a bit much for a single day’s listen.

Other albums:

Velvet Bloom – Velvet Bloom – Rating: 4.5 / 5

Esther Rose – Want – 3.75 / 5
