A big yes! for Cole Porter Songbooks, and Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook set. Ella and Louis SACD is swell, although many of the tracks are available on other discs and the sound on the SACD isn't the end all to be all, as you get different perspectives listening to different versions. Anyone who has a good size Ella collection has multiple versions of her songs (many in mono) on LP and disc. I look forward to how Analogue Production mixes the SACD of Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie. It's often said the best things in life are free, and while the Ella discs aren't free, they are among the best things in life and many are bargains. Be sure to acquire some of Ella's live recordings, the Rome and Berlin concerts are always favorites.
