Product Details

Zardi's Jazzland was a Hollywood fixture in the 1950s, drawing serious jazz crowds on its way to becoming part of the city's live music lore. Catching Fitzgerald just before she entered the studio to launch Verve's songbook series, these performances capture her at a pivotal moment, working a room the way she'd worked rooms her whole career, loose and unguarded in a way studio recordings rarely allowed.


Rescued from the vaults: ‘Ella At Zardi's’ is the Verve Records' first live recording, and is being heard for the first time anywhere. The two sets from the evening, in front of a lively crowd, was captured February 2, 1956, a few days before Ella began recording Verve’s first album, ‘Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Song Book.’
