Ella at Basin Street East - 1961 & 62?

Does anyone have details as to how many times Ella Fitzgerald played this NYC club in the early 1960's and if a recording was ever issued from any of those performances? Thanks.

The Lord discography doesn't list any appearances, though that's hardly definitive. She toured in Europe during that period, recording both of her famous Berlin concerts. She recorded a couple of albums in New York (the Christmas album and "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!"), but seems to have spent most of her time on the west coast.

OK..more definitively....does anyone have any information to know if her appearances at Basin Street East in NYC during (?) January 1961 were recorded / released? THX.
