Montreux

Album CD published in 1990 remastering the original recording on vinyl from live performance at the festival in Montreux (Switzerland), 1975. The sextet composed of the great trumpeters Roy Eldridge (Pennsylvania, 1911-1989), Dizzy Gillespie (South Carolina, 1917-1993) and Clark Terry (Missouri, 1920), supporting the album title, with the great pianist Oscar Peterson (Canada, 1925-2007), the bass Niels Pedersen (Denmark, 1946-2005) and Louis Bellson (Illinois, 1924-2009) with drums, was the summit of the proceedings of that year in Montreux, produced by Norman Granz, which achieved a historical record very suitable for the live show. The CD provides as 'bonus' track 'Lullaby of the leaves', which was not included on the original vinyl.

At the end of the 1970s, Ella was in her early sixties (on this particular recording she was 60).
Ella starts with a swinging rendition of `Too Close For Comfort', which was already on her repertoire in the mid-fifties (she first recorded it in duet with Joe Williams accompanied by Count Basies Band). Here her voice has grown older but she proves that doesn't mean her singing qualities have decreased! ~ Amazon
