Notes

Live archive release. The First Lady of Song returns to Berlin, Home of her legendary concerts. Recorded in 1962 but never released, hear the most popular jazz singer of all time deliver an iconic performance at Sportpalast Berlin for the first time. This recording finds Ella and her band at the top of their game recorded in high fidelity stereo. With only two songs repeated from her hit record “Mack The Knife” two years earlier, this undiscovered recording stands on it’s own.
