Ella Fitzgerald – Ella In Berlin
Recorded live in Berlin, Ella In Berlin captures Ella Fitzgerald at the height of her powers. Backed by a superb jazz ensemble, she delivers a confident and expressive performance filled with effortless swing, warmth and remarkable vocal control.
The album includes her celebrated interpretation of “Mack the Knife”, during which Fitzgerald famously improvises after forgetting parts of the lyrics. The spontaneous performance became one of the defining moments of her career and perfectly demonstrates her wit, musical instinct and extraordinary ability as a live performer.
An essential recording for admirers of vocal jazz, traditional jazz and classic live albums.
