Ella Fitzgerald - Ella: The Lost Berlin Tapes

Ella Fitzgerald


Verve, 2020

The First Lady of Song Returns to Berlin, home of her legendary concerts. Recorded in 1962 but never released, this stunning album presents the most popular jazz singer of all time delivering an iconic performance. Ella and her trio of pianist Paul Smith, bassist Wilfred Middlebrooks and drummer Stan Levey are at the top of their game, performing songs from the Great American Songbook, jazz standards and the Ray Charles hit “Hallelujah, I Love Him So.” With only two songs repeated from her hit record “Mack The Knife” from two years earlier, this undiscovered recording stands on its own.
