Most of my Ella and vocal groups are on LP, so I was limited to what I had digitally. 

Setting aside your legitimate complaint, what do you think of the song selection?  I am going for noirish, world-weary, pulpish lyrics, capturing the mid-20th-century mood of urban isolation, with Cainesque, Chandleresque language.  Here is the thread I started a while back:

 

I'm sorry  I cant help you on this topic or make suggestions  because  I'm mostly  collecting instrumental music and only a few favorite vocals (Louis & Ella) & the Frosh, Hi-Los & Singers Unlimited + Frank naturally. Many of your Sinatra songs are here in the  FS collection my late wife left me.

Starting off the morning with Bill Evans “Turn Out the Stars” disc 4. Seems perfect for the quiet stillness of the neighborhood and my mind.

I like this album, too - a nice "by-product" of Bruce Webers excellent 1988 documentary. Besides: The cover is one of the rare pics where the late Chet really looks like a cool cat!
