Now spinning the two HEP CDs with Chick Webb material - just right for me instead of the big Mosaic box with Ella's vocals dominating - she gets on my nerves when listen to too many tracks with her singing 

I have the same feeling about the Heps vs. the Mosaic box. The Heps are all I need or want.

For me , when I was first into jazz thirty years ago the only singer I could tolerate was Sarah Vaughan. Since then Ella and Billie have totally eclipsed the Divine Sarah. The young Ella was somethin' else. The old one also.... but like Lady Day , different
