- Synopsis:
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 from the prestigious 'Montreux Jazz Festival' now makes a part of this legacy available on video for the first time. Ella Fitzgerald is the possessor of arguably the greatest female voice in the history of jazz. Joined here by her regular backing group, the wonderfully talented Tommy Flanagan Trio, Ella gives a sublime performance showcasing her abilities across many different styles.
