ELLA IN ROME THE BIRTHDAY CONCERT
If you live (and love) to sing, how do you celebrate your birthday? Well, by singing, of course! And that's what Miss Fitzgerald did in 1958 when she turned 41.
She recorded this live album (although her pianist Lou Levy didn't even know they were recording that night) with the Oscar Peterson trio.
The great, the sublime, Norman Granz produced it. (He was a master of live recordings)
And now, all remastered and perfect, we get to enjoy it here in the 21st century. You just can't help loving this album - the songs are fabulous and Ella was perfect that night.
(Well, in my opinion, she was pretty much always perfect……)
