Ella Fitzgerald
Posted in Literature, Poetry, and Books by Peter W. Schramm
Fred Kaplan praises the just released "Twelve Nights in Hollywood," a four-CD boxed set of Ella Fitzgerald singing 76 songs at the Crescendo, a small jazz club in Los Angeles, in
1961 and '62 -- and none of it has ever been released until now. "These aren't bootlegs; the CDs were mastered from the original
tapes, which were produced by Norman Granz, Verve's founder and
Fitzgerald's longtime manager. They capture the singer in her
peak years, and at top form: more relaxed, swinging and adventurous,
across a wider span of rhythms and moods, than on the dozens of other
albums that hit the bins in her lifetime." Run out and buy it.
