Ella Fitzgerald Sings Sweet Songs for Swingers is a 1959 album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, recorded with a studio Orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol.

Ella focuses on well known jazz standards by lesser known songwriters, a useful counterbalance to her continuing songbooks project, which at this time found her in the midst of recording the epic George and Ira Gershwin Songbook.

Reception

Шаблон:Music ratings Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Ella Fitzgerald is in fine form on this obscure LP, performing a dozen standards... An enjoyable if not classic release."
