Ella Fitzgerald – Ella In Berlin/Hollywood

Vinyl 2LP

One of Fitzgerald’s most acclaimed live performances. At this concert in Berlin, Fitzgerald improvised lyrics for “Mack the Knife” after forgetting the original lyrics. In recognition of this, she received the Best Female Vocal Performance.

This album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The recording of ’How High the Moon’ is considered one of Fitzgerald’s best scat solos, if not one of the best in jazz. ‘Ella in Hollywood’ features several songs that serve as starting points for Ella’s seemingly effortless scat solos, and a selection of beautiful ballads. This album features Ella at the height of her vocal powers.
