Ella Fitzgerald Sings Sweet Songs for Swingers is a studio album released in 1959 by Verve Records, produced by Norman Granz. The title reflects the focus on cheerful and danceable songs, aimed at a swing-loving audience. Fitzgerald performs a selection of Great American Songbook standards with her characteristic swing style.
The recordings took place in Los Angeles between 1958 and 1959, with arrangements by Frank DeVol and his orchestra. The album includes songs like 'Sweet Georgia Brown' and 'I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket', which stand out for their lively rhythm. Although not one of Fitzgerald's most prominent releases, it was well received by critics for its cohesion and the joy of the performances.
The album has been reissued on CD and digital platforms, and is part of the series of thematic albums Fitzgerald recorded for Verve. The original cover shows Fitzgerald in an elegant dress, in a design that evokes the atmosphere of jazz clubs of the time.
