3.9 excellentErwann S. STAFF | May 19th 20

Improvisation legend. The first seven tracks are sweet vocal jazz tunes, but it's on the last two songs, "Mack the Knife" and "How High the Moon", that Ella builds her legend. On "Mack the Knife", she forgots the lyrics and starts improvising while always landing on her feet. She doesn't forget "How High Moon"'s lyrics, but nevertheless extends it by improvising for five straight minutes. Plus, her interactions with the public are wholesome (just look at that face on the cover, she seems so nice). So yeah extremely cool live vocal jazz record.
