Ella Fitzgerald "Ella Fitzgerald Live at Montreux 1969"

Ella Fitzgerald "Ella Fitzgerald Live at Montreux 1969" Vinyl, LP, Album (2023 Mercury Records pressing)

Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in June 1969, Live at Montreux 1969 captures Ella Fitzgerald during her first appearance at the festival, backed by the Tommy Flanagan Trio. The performance presents Fitzgerald in a relaxed yet commanding setting, balancing standards, bossa nova-influenced material, contemporary pop covers, and her unmistakable scat singing.

The concert was originally associated with a filmed performance and later circulated on video before being issued in audio formats. Modern CD and LP releases have introduced the set to listeners as a standalone live album, emphasizing the warmth of the recording, the intimacy of the audience interaction, and Fitzgerald’s rapport with her trio.
