Thanks for this gem, I've been listening to it all day. Nobody could swing like Chick and Ella.

Hi. I'm trying to find this recording on CD or at least as an mp3 download. Can anyone tell me where I can find it?

[LJHQ]

@vinnieblair It's on Ella Fitzgerald In The Groove. Available on Amazon and other places.

Thanks for the great info shrinkprof! Now how do mere mortals go about finding that sort of information out? Any good resources to share?

Teddy McRae (tenor), Sandy Williams (trombone), Taft Jordan (trumpet). The Chick Webb band AFTER he'd died and it was taken over by Ella (as in Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra). Bill Beason on drums.

I LOVE this sensational video of a very young Ella Fitzgerald when she was singing with the Chick Webb Band at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem in the late1930s. (I,also, love the beautiful photographs of her in this video.) This one really swings!!! DMM
