ELLA FITZGERALD - ELLA AT ZARDI'S - (2 LP PINK & OPAQUE BLUE VINYL)
QUANTITY: 1500
Following last year's release of Ella Fitzgerald's lost live album recorded in 1956 on the eve of her breakthrough, the album will make its vinyl debut as a double LP on pink and opaque blue vinyl with contrasting labels.
Recorded on February 2, 1956 at Zardi's Jazzland in Hollywood, Ella At Zardi's features the entirety of the evening's two-set, 21-song performance, which captures an inspired Fitzgerald singing and swinging in front of an animated, adoring crowd, just days before she'd go on to record the album that would catapult her to stardom. The concert was originally recorded by Norman Granz to celebrate the creation of, and Fitzgerald's signing to,
Verve Records, which Granz founded largely to give Fitzgerald the attention that he felt she wasn't receiving at her then-current label, Decca. Ella At Zardi's was planned as the label's inaugural release but shelved in favor of the now-classic studio album
Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Song Book, which kicked off a best-selling, signature series of Song Book releases. The Zardi's tapes languished in Verve's vaults for six decades.
Album 1: First Set: Side A: (1) "It All Depends On You" (2) "Tenderly" (3) "Why Don't You Do Right" (4) "
Cry Me A River" (5) "In A Mellow Tone"
Side B: (1) "Joe Williams's Blues" (2) "A Fine Romance" (3) "How High The Moon" (4) "Gone With The Wind" (5) "Bernie's Tune"

Side D: (1) "Little Boy (Little Girl)" (2) "A-Tisket, A-Tisket" (3) "My
Heart Belongs To Daddy" (4) "Airmail Special" (5) "
