It's no wonder that Ella Fitzgerald was one of the biggest pop stars of her day - her exquisite voice never fails to make listeners feel good. Her live performances are legendary and "Ella in Berlin" captures one of the greatest displays of jazz vocal improvisation in concert. Including her amazing rendition of "Mack the Knife", this recording showcases the virtuosity of Ella at the peak of her performing prowess. |
