1958 live album by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday
Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday at Newport is a 1958 live album by
Ella Fitzgerald and
Billie Holiday, recorded at the 1957
Newport Jazz Festival.
[3]
Fitzgerald's first track promoted her recent album
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1956), and after several teething problems with the microphone, and tempo problems on "
I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself a Letter)", she delivers a stunning scat solo on "Air Mail Special", quoting from several recent pop hits.
Holiday is introduced by
Johnny Mercer, and
Carmen McRae's performance of that year was featured on the 2000
Verve CD reissue.
