Miss Ella Fitzgerald & Mr Gordon Jenkins Invite You to Listen and Relax In recent years the Ella Fitzgerald back catalogue has continued to grow, this includes complete albums of previously unreleased live material and alternative recordings from her studio sessions. In 1972 Norman Granz formed Pablo Records, the label continued to release Ella Fitzgerald's albums up until her last recorded album All That Jazz in 1989. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw Fitzgerald release albums on several major record labels, including three albums on Capitol Records and two on the Reprise Records label. These were re-issued in 2003 on the 2-CD set, Jukebox Ella: The Complete Verve Singles, Vol. Ella Fitzgerald released many stand alone singles throughout her Verve years. Included in this era were a series of eight Song Book albums, with interpretations of the greater part of the Great American Songbook, with songs from the pens of Cole Porter (1956), Rodgers & Hart (1956), Duke Ellington (1957), Irving Berlin (1958), George and Ira Gershwin (1959), Harold Arlen (1961), Jerome Kern (1963) and Johnny Mercer (1964). Fitzgerald recorded with Verve until the mid-1960s. In 1956 Ella Fitzgerald signed with Verve Records, the Norman Granz record label. These recordings have been re-issued on a series of 15 compact disc by the French record label Classics Records between 19.

From 1935 to the late 1940s Decca issued Ella Fitzgerald's recordings on 78rpm singles and album collections, in book form, of four singles that included eight tracks. With the introduction of 10' and 12' Long-Playing records in the late 1940s, Decca released several original albums of Fitzgerald's music and reissued many of her previous single-only releases. Fitzgerald continued recording with Webb until his death in 1939, after which the group was renamed Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra. Her first credited single was 78 RPM recording 'I'll Chase the Blues Away' with the Chick Webb Orchestra. Her early recordings as a featured vocalist were frequently uncredited. Between 19, American singer Ella Fitzgerald was signed to Decca Records.
