{"product_id":"mack-the-knife-ella-in-berlin-vinyl-lp","title":"Mack The Knife - Ella In Berlin: Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded in front of an enthusiastic Saturday night audience in Berlin’s Deutschlandhalle, Mack The Knife vividly demonstrates Ella Fitzgerald’s unparalleled improvisational vocal artistry. With her regular quartet at the time – pianist Paul Smith, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Alfred Middlebrooks and drummer Gus Johnson – the albums swings furiously. While emphasizing as usual the Great American Songbook – “Gone With The Wind,” “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “The Man I Love,” “Summertime,” “Too Darn Hot,” “Misty” and “Lorelei” – Mack The Knife culminates in brilliant, extended excursions on Kurt Weill’s title piece and a breathtaking, scat-singing romp on “How High the Moon.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplanned as a recording, this performance was serendipitously immortalized when Fitzgerald’s manager\/producer and visionary Verve label founder Norman Granz allowed WDR, West German Radio, to record and broadcast the performance. The LP was a major hit, peaking at No. 11 on Billboard magazine’s 200 albums chart and becoming a landmark in the legacy of live jazz vocal artistry – the album that, out of many Ella classics, has maintained her undisputed position as the First Lady of Song for more than 80 years since she exploded onto the scene with Chick Webb in 1935.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting Up The Stage: Tuning Up... \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Old Black Magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Love Is Here To Stay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGone With The Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplause And Fanfare Interlude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lady Is A Tramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanfare And Announcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Man I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove For Sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust One Of Those Things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummertime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Darn Hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplause And Fanfare Interlude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLorelei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMack The Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanfare And Announcements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow High The Moon? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplause And Closing Fanfare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49976594661618,"sku":"5352710","price":6.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/ella_in_berlin.png?v=1787644246","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/mack-the-knife-ella-in-berlin-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
