Ella at Juan-Les-Pins

Encyclopedia : E : EL : ELL : Ella at Juan-Les-Pins

Ella at Juan-les-Pins is a 1964 (see 1964 in music) live album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, accompianed by a trio led by the pianist Tommy Flanagan, with the trumpeter Roy Eldridge.

The album was recorded at the Fifth 'Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes' in Juan-Les-Pins, France.

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.
