Michael Fremer Rated 9/10 Music, 9/10 Sonics in his reviews on Musicangle
Stan Tonkel here pulls it off brilliantly, mixing just the right amount of direct and reverberant sound to give you an intimate, yet warm and reverberant, spatially rich presentation. Images are three dimensional, solid and transparent on a satisyingly large soundstage with the audience well-miked and just the right distance away to convey the hall's size. Most importantly, Ella, center stage, sounds just right..." - Michael Fremer
This impeccably produced (by Norman Granz, who literall built Verve Records and later Pablo around her), career summing concert takes Ella from her beginnings with the Chick Webb Orchestra to her then current quartet featuring Tommy Flanagan, Keeter Betts, Joe Pass and Freddie Waits, all brilliantly choreographed by master showman/producer/record executive Norman Granz along with Newport producer George Wein.
