Annotation

Notes

Various performances from the 1979' Montreux Jazz Festival, issued together by Norman Granz along with others in this Digital Montreux "collection".
Fitzgerald won an award for her performance here.
This is recommended: despite being quite late in Ella career, she's in very good form.
