Another typically wonderful LP of
Ella Fitzgerald
in her prime,
Fitzgerald
is joined by pianist
Lou Levy
, guitarist
Herb Ellis
, bassist
Joe Mondragon
, and drummer
Stan Levey
.
is in fine form on such numbers as "A Night in Tunisia," an emotional "You're My Thrill," "Jersey Bounce," and "Clap Hands! Here Comes Charlie." Although not reaching the heights of her live performances, this is an excellent (and somewhat underrated) set. ~ Scott Yanow
