“Fine and Mellow”: Ella Fitzgerald Jams

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

Notes

Old school jam revival for this late date.
Recommended for jazz amateurs, newcomers may possibly prefer trying first some more mainstream stuff in the early 50-60s Verve catalog.
