Ella At Zardi's

• Track Listing

What a rarity: a milestone recording that’s also previously unreleased. Rescued from the vaults, here is Verve’s first live recording, captured on February 2, 1956 (a few days before she began recording Verve’s first album, "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook"). Yes, it’s true: these two sets from that evening have never been heard before: "Tenderly," "A Fine Romance," "’S Wonderful," "Gone with the Wind," "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," "Cry Me a River," "The Tender Trap," "Lullaby of Birdland" and more unheard Ella! Verve.
