Ella Fitzgerald – Live at Falconer Theatre: Copenhagen 6th February 1966 (CD)

Copenhagen had a long love affair with Ella Fitzgerald, and the Falconer Theatre shows rank among the most warmly received of her European tours. Caught at the peak of her interpretive powers, this 1966 date captures the First Lady of Song working the kind of intimate, attentive Scandinavian crowd that brought out her most playful scat improvisations and unhurried phrasing.
