Ella In Berlin captures the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald at the height of her powers, delivering iconic live performances that showcase her pure tone and unrivaled improvisational skill. Released by UMe in 2021, this celebrated album features Fitzgerald’s legendary renditions of "Mack the Knife" and "Summertime," recorded during her 1960 Berlin concert and the 1962 “Lost Berlin Tapes.” The clarity and vitality of the sound bring you right into the heart of these unforgettable jazz moments.
This special edition stands out for its use of the innovative "parallel grooves" vinyl cutting technique, offering a unique listening experience: each side presents contrasting versions of the same songs, so every needle drop can reveal new surprises. Whether you're drawn to the energy of the 1960 original or the nuance of the 1962 performances, Ella In Berlin invites you to explore the artistry and dynamic range of one of jazz’s most beloved voices.
