Esther Phillips - At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall Hamburg 1978

The spectacularly exceptional singer Esther Phillips performing a magical concert at Onkel P�'s Carnegie Hall, in 1978. The legendary Hamburg hot spot is once again turned into a seething cauldron of emotions.

Phillips was rediscovered in the disco era: with What a Difference a Day Makes, a song which had previously been an inherent part of the repertoire of Dinah Washington, an artist much admired by Esther. Of course, the song was also performed at Onkel P�, just before the end of the concert.

The concert, which was recorded by NDR and featured powerful accompanists and a highly enthusiastic audience - now documented on two CDs - showed her ability to completely enchant her audience.
