Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie Orchestra - Sweet Georgia Brown

Norman Granz is one of the most important non-musicians in the history of jazz and no one has made a greater contribution to the staging, recording and filming of jazz concerts. This series of performances that made Montreux Jazz Festival famous and previously released on DVD by Laser Swing Productions, will now be available on our TH-cam channel. The concert of Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie Orchestra is the perfect example of how to swing. The ideal combination of Ella Fitzgerald, at the height of her powers in 1979, with the Count Basie Orchestra and then accompanied by the great man himself, leads to a sublime evening with versions of such Ella classics as Flying Home and A-tisket, A-tasket.
