Ella Fitzgerald at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1975

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Notes

A quite good live from the late period - while Ella voice was weakening, she still demonstrates no one but her deserves the First Lady title, accompanied by her usual trio.
Earliest editions had the title simply as "Montreux", or "Montreux '75".
