Ella Returns to Berlin is a 1961 (see
1961 in music)
live album by
Ella Fitzgerald, with a trio led by the pianist
Lou Levy, and also featuring the
Oscar Peterson trio.
The album's title refers to Fitzgerald's more famous concert in
Berlin a year earlier (
Ella in Berlin: Mack the Knife), which had included her famous rendition of "
Mack the Knife", which earned her a
Grammy Award for
Best Female Vocal Performance (Single).
Like
Ella in Rome: The Birthday Concert, this concert was first released thirty years after it was originally recorded, in 1991.
