Listener Reviews & Comments
I bought this liking both Ella and Basie and whilst it would have been good to have more Basie , at least his band swings beautifully . Just hearing Ella sing "Sweet Georgia Brown" on this DVD makes me feel glad to be alive . She takes a lot of chances whilst singing and obviously loves what she's doing . She doesn't ignore the audience like some jazz performers do . One reviewer wrote that Ella was past her prime when this was recorded . If so , I would rather she was still around as not many other current singers do it for me like Ella does . Most record companies have big marketing budgets , but are the 'artists' worth your hard earned ? Picasso was an artist , like Ella . They communicate . Without needing to dance . If you love great singing , this will give you goosebumps . Buy and enjoy .
