[Dixielandjazz] Ella Fitzgerald: Twelve Nights in Hollywood, Review

[Robert Ringwald]

Ella Fitzgerald: Twelve Nights in Hollywood
by K. Leander Williams
Entertainment Weekly, December 9, 2009

Remember when nightclubs had kitschy-cool names like the Blue Angel and the Crescendo?
Perhaps not, but one great thing about labels with long histories is that revisiting
those days is just a CD away. And so, from deep within the vaults at Verve comes
this four-CD time capsule, "Twelve Nights in Hollywood," which captures First Lady
of Scat Ella Fitzgerald and her swinging quartet livin' it up during extended engagements
at the long-gone hot spot/celebrity magnet the Crescendo. The years are 1961 and
1962, every track previously unreleased. File under: Neat-o.
