Ella à Nice

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

Notes

A quite good performance, Fitzgerald is in top form here, accompanied by her favorite trio.
Not really essential, though, it's still a very good dig for amateurs.
Granz would not release this until 1983.

Recording Date: 21 July 1971
Recording Location: Théâtre de Verdure, Nice, France
