This item was a Sarah Vaughan CD-reissue, instead an unissued recording on Ella Fitzgerald. I got this message from a retailer!

I bought this album through a high street shop and not online, so I am guessing that the previous post meant that they were shipped the wrong item. There is a Sarah Vaughan recording at Mr. Kellys which is equally as good and well worth buying, but this recording is excellent, not only for the top recording venu done under Mr. Grantz's supervision but also for the fact that in both cases the crowd does not detract from the music, but then the club sounds add to these live recordings...pour yourself a drink, close your eyes and you are there.
I have always liked Ella Fitzgerald and own many of her recordings from her early days in the Chick Webb band to her song book series but the humour that come across at live venu recordings is fantastic, she is really there to please the crowd and give them what they want, and I have been to some club gigs where the band plays for itself and not the crowd and you would never be able to record their gig live.
In my view a must buy.
