Product Details

Recorded at the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1967, this document captures Fitzgerald at the peak of her interpretive powers, during a period when she was simultaneously deepening her jazz credentials alongside Duke Ellington and proving she could make any pop song her own. Her scat vocabulary and rhythmic instincts remained unmatched, and hearing her work a large arena crowd reminds you that pure musicianship, not spectacle, was always the draw.

Vinyl LP pressing. Ella Fitzgerald virtually invented the live album. Her performances were so consistently great that almost any live show was special enough to release as a record. For Ella Fitzgerald, every night was The Moment of Truth. In the summer of 1967, Ella Fitzgerald was in the middle of a three-year touring and recording collaboration with Duke Ellington and was incorporating hit pop songs of the late-60s into her concert repertoire - two of which are presented here for the first time on record.
