Ella Abraça Jobim
1981 studio album by Ella Fitzgerald
Ella Abraça Jobim Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook Ella Fitzgerald , devoted to the songs of Antônio Carlos Jobim .
It was reissued on CD in 1991, although the CD version does not include the songs "Don't Ever Go Away " and "Song of the Jet ".
Though it is subtitled as such, the album is not usually considered part of Fitzgerald's 'Songbook' series, the last of the 'Songbook' albums having been recorded in 1964.
It was Fitzgerald's first album of music devoted to a single composer since 1972's Ella Loves Cole bossa nova style, though she had been singing Jobim's songs since the mid-1960s.
Fitzgerald never worked with Antônio Carlos Jobim, though she appeared alongside Frank Sinatra for a 1967 television special that also featured Jobim.
The title has a pun , as El a (with a single l) translates as "she". It can be translated as 'She Hugs Jobim' (Ela Abraça Jobim) or 'Ella Hugs Jobim".
