Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald's "Mack The Knife - Ella In Berlin" album is a deliriously delightful romp through jazz history, showcasing the incomparable talent of the First Lady of Song. From the sultry opening notes of "Mack The Knife" to the infectious energy of "Too Darn Hot," Fitzgerald captivates listeners with her powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence.

The live recording captures the magic of Fitzgerald's performance at the Deutschlandhalle in West Berlin, where she effortlessly charms the audience with her impeccable phrasing and boundless charisma. The standout track, "Summertime," is a masterclass in vocal interpretation, as Fitzgerald weaves her way through the haunting melody with effortless grace.

But it's not just Fitzgerald's voice that shines on this album - the impeccable backing band, featuring jazz legends like Paul Smith on piano and Jimmy Cobb on drums, provide the perfect accompaniment to her scintillating vocals. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, adding an extra layer of excitement to each track.

Overall, "Mack The Knife - Ella In Berlin" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Fitzgerald's timeless charm and unrivalled talent shine through on every track, making this album a true gem in the jazz canon. So grab a glass of champagne, sit back, and let Ella take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
