Ella in Budapest

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Notes

This was left unreleased by Norman Granz.
Actually, this is one of the first tapes made by Granz' new label (Pablo), that would lead Fitzgerald to the later part of her career.
The program here is a hodge pot of both jazz and pop cuts, served by a top-notch trio.
This is an excellent set, if not historical.

Recording Date: 20 May 1970
Recording Location: Budapest
