20th Century Masterworks Coloured Vinyl Series ELLA FITZGERALD: Ella in Berlin + 3 BONUS TRACKS (180g PINK vinyl) Includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide To Jazzs writer Brian Morton and Paris prestigious Jazz Magazine. AllMusic: This LP is a classic. Ella Fitzgerald is heard at the peak of her powers during a Berlin concert that is famous for her unique version of Mack the Knife; when she forgot the words in mid-performance, she substituted spontaneous and remarkable lyrics of her own. This music (which also includes a hot version of How High the Moon) is essential for all serious jazz collections. (Scott Yanow) Originally released as Ella in Berlin (Verve MG VS-64041). Ella Fitzgerald, vocals; PAUL SMITH, piano; JIM HALL, guitar; WILFRED MIDDLEBROOKS, bass; GUS JOHNSON, drums. Deutschlandhalle, Berlin, Germany, February 13, 1960. Produced by Norman Granz
