United StatesHard to believe this is a 1961 vocal recording. Great sound. Of course, a beautiful voice and nice dynamics with live audience that never distract from her vocals. Recommended addition.
AustraliaI love every second of it. Great audio quality too.
Quality of the recoding is very good. The flaws in the original recording remain in terms of the limitations of the miking available at the time. Ms. Fitzgerald is in top form with the "scat" lyrics she substitutes for tor the published lyrics when she can't remember them. For this reason, the album may not be to everyones taste but her prefedct pitch enables her to carry it off.
Good performance.I love it.
