Jazz ’round Midnight

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Notes

Somewhat insignificant Verve compilation (initially Gitanes Jazz production?).
Certainly not bad, not "good" (if that ever means something for a sampler).
Dig it if you find it at a budget price and are a newcomer.
