1964 live album by Ella Fitzgerald
Ella at Juan-les-Pins is a 1964
live album by
Ella Fitzgerald , accompanied by a quartet led by
Roy Eldridge on trumpet with the pianist
Tommy Flanagan , Gus Johnson on drums and Bill Yancey on bass.
Val Valentin was the recording engineer, cover photo by Jean-Pierre Leloir.
The original 1964 album featured 12 songs, highlights of two concerts Fitzgerald performed on the 28 and 29 of July 1964 at the fifth annual
Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes in
Juan-les-Pins ,
France . In 2002 Verve re-issued this album, including all the performances from both evenings.
Ella is in fine voice, sounding very aggressive at times, as her voice leaps and growls. The listener also gets to hear Ella improvise a musical tribute to the
crickets who are also in fine voice throughout the performance.
