Notes

This is the late 2 cd reissue (previous 2 LP contained less cuts, with a different order and cutting).
This somewhat complex performance organizes as follow:
Disc 1:

  • the seven first tracks feature a formation advertised as the Chick Webb Orchestra. Fitzgerald is on three of the cuts (#4-6)
  • Fitzgerald is then showcased with Ellis Larkins for three duo cuts (#9-11)
  • the four remaining tracks feature the so-called "Carnegie All-Stars" (without Fitzgerald), which is Fitzgerald regular quartet combo extended by Al Grey, Roy Eldridge and Eddie Lockjaw Davis

Disc 2:

  • the first track continues the previous All-Stars performance (same personnel)
  • the remainder of the disc is Fitzgerald plus her quartet combo, with the exception of a pair of interlude on which she doesn't sing, and the Don't Worry / Foolish medley on which she is in duo with Joe Pass

The All-Stars medley on this disc was previously released as three tracks.
