FROM THE VERVE VAULT UNRELEASED LIFE PERMORMANCE BY ELLA!

LIMITED EDITION 45 RPM VINYL!

Newly discovered 20-minute live JATP recording, of a live performance captured ten days before Ella Fitzgerald's classic performance at Zardi's  and the outro announcement on this recording references that upcoming gig. This recording comes on translucent yellow 45 RPM vinyl!!! 

Verve Records, celebrating Ella Fitzgerald´s 100th birthday in 2017, released at the end of that year Ella at Zardi´s- a vibrant, previously unreleased album recorded during a two-week stint at the Hollywood nightclub. Captured February 2 , 1956, all signs pointed to the album as the label´s, and Ella´s, first live recording. Incredibly, it was discovered that Verve Records founder Norman Granz had also recorded Ella at Los Angeles´ Shrine Auditorium the week before. It´s a thrilling but brief set because, as Granz announces, Ella ´´has to get back to Zardi´s.´´ Phil Schaap provides the origin story.
