Jazz Icons: Ella Fitzgerald- Live In '57 & '63

The Jazz Icons: Ella Fitzgerald DVD, released Sept. 26, 2006, features "The First Lady Of Song" in two distinct performances. The first is the earliest known complete concert of Ella to be captured on film. Shot in Belgium, this 1957 concert has her performing with jazz greats Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Jo Jones and the legendary Oscar Peterson on classics such as "Lullaby Of Birdland," and "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." The second show is an intimate in-studio performance from 1963, taped in Sweden, featuring Ella backed by a quartet including pianist Tommy Flanagan. Highlights include stellar versions of "Mack The Knife" and "Just One Of Those Things."

Pachinin411, That guy is Norman Granz, the impresario that managed Ella and who put together "Jazz at the Phil" and was responsible for bringing so many of these early artists to the public on his tours.

Have they done a documentary on her? I would love to see her life on film, as well as The Sassy.
