Ella Fitzgerald - Ella in Berlin

Classic Ella Fitzgerald LP 'Ella in Berlin' + 3 bonus tracks pressed on 180g pink vinyl, includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide To Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

This LP is a classic. Ella Fitzgerald is heard at the peak of her powers during a Berlin concert that is famous for her unique version of 'Mack the Knife'; when she forgot the words in mid-performance, she substituted spontaneous and remarkable lyrics of her own. This music (which also includes a hot version of 'How High the Moon') is essential for all serious jazz collections. - Scott Yanow, AllMusic
