Gold is a two-disc compilation album by Ella Fitzgerald that was released on the Verve Records label in 2007. The 40 tracks span Fitzgerald's career from 1938 to 1964.

Music

The first disc contains material originally released by Decca Records; the second is taken from Verve releases.[2] The 40 tracks were recorded between May 1938 and October 1964.[1]

The JazzTimes reviewer commented that "Fitzgerald's fiery early collaborations with Chick Webb, Louis Jordan, Sy Oliver, Louis Armstrong and others bring the Decca half to a boil, and well-chosen selections from the Songbook recordings more than adequately characterize the sizzling Fitzgerald of the '50s and '60s."[2]
