Synopsis

Album Description
Two intimate separate sets recorded live in Sweden.. The first part showcases the splendid trumpeter Roy Eldridge leading an All Star sextet featuring violinist Stuff Smith, drummer Jo Jones and the Oscar Peterson trio. The second part of the concert is the long Ella Fitzgerald set, in which she is accompanied solely by the rhythm section, but with her pianist, Don Abney, replacing Peterson. Among the many highlights are her powerful readings of 'Angel Eyes', 'Lullaby of Birdland' 'Love for Sale' and 'Can't Give You Anything But Love'. Lonehill Jazz. 2006.
 

CD Reviews

Nice Live Concert
Paul K. Smith | Austin, TX United States | 03/16/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD was previously only available as an import from Sweden. The first half is all instrumental; the second half features one of Ella's flawless live performances from her peak period of 1955-1965."
