crisp Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Amazon.com is listing this Verve title for a November 10 release, here. As usual with Verve, hard info is hard to find, but the price suggests a boxed set. A review on Amazon.de suggests that it will include the complete Crescendo, LA, live dates from 11-21 May 1961: 139 songs. Don't know where he gets that from, though.

Peter Donolo Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Found the track list on the Japanese HMV website, of all places. To my mind, I don't think I've heard Ella sing "My Kind of Boy" or "I Found a New Baby". In any case, there's no such thing as too much prime Ella (though this adds up to under 80 songs - not 139)! Disc 1 1 Introduction 2 Lover Come Back To Me 3 Too Close For Comfort 4 Little White Lies 5 On The Sunny Side Of The Street 6 Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive 7 Baby, Won't You Please Come Home 8 I Found A New Baby 9 On A Slow Boat To China 10 My Heart Belongs To Daddy 11 Perdido 12 I've Got A Crush On You 13 But Not For Me 14 You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me 15 Across The Alley From The Alamo 16 I'm Glad There Is You 17 'Round Midnight 18 Take The "A" Train 19 Mr. Paganini Disc 2 1 Nice Work If You Can Get It 2 I Can't Get Started 3 Give Me The Simple Life 4 Caravan 5 One For My Baby 6 Lorelei 7 A-Tisket, A-Tasket 8 Witchcraft 9 Gone With The Wind 10 Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe 11 It's De-Lovely 12 The Lady Is A Tramp 13 That Old Black Magic 14 Lullaby Of Birdland 15 Ella Introduces The Band 16 Imagination 17 Blue Moon 18 Joe Williams' Blues Disc 3 1 The Lady's In Love With You 2 Love Is Here To Stay 3 Come Rain Or Come Shine 4 Anything Goes 5 This Could Be The Start Of Something Big 6 Candy 7 Little Girl Blue 8 You're Driving Me Crazy 9 It's All Right With Me 10 Just Squeeze Me (But Please Don't Tease Me) 11 'S Wonderful 12 How High The Moon 13 Deep Purple 14 In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning 15 Mack The Knife 16 Exactly Like You 17 Rock It For Me 18 Stompin' At The Savoy 19 Love For Sale 20 St. Louis Blues Disc 4 1 All Of Me 2 Hard Hearted Hannah 3 Broadway 4 My Kind Of Boy 5 It Had To Be You 6 C'est Magnifique 7 How Long Has This Been Going On 8 When Your Lover Has Gone 9 Taking A Chance On Love 10 Good Morning Heartache 11 Clap Hands!

king ubu Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Lou Levy (p), Herb Ellis (g), Wilfred Middlebrooks (b), Gus Johnson (d) Crescendo Club, Los Angeles, Ca., May 11 & 21, 1961 Could be nice... or a nice x-mas gift for my mom, that's for sure! Quite a steep price for a 4CD set though, 70€! Will it include one of Ella's 70s glasses as a bonus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it for many years on vinyl and recently picked up that CD, too. Easily compares with "In Berlin". Could be monster of a box.

neveronfriday Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 That box is way too expensive. In comparison to the OP box, they nearly added 20 Euro for one more CD. Pricing sucks on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebopbob Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I just opened my copy-all the discs are scratched and have dried glue on them! The discs are wedged into very tight envelopes which are obviously glued together. Very poor packaging. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I thought the packaging (and music) was great.. I didn't have any problems with the CD's... Ella's goofing around on about 3 or 4 songs but otherwise I highly recommend it...! Yes it's from the same gig but there's no duplication between the individual CD and the new boxed set....

So they want us to buy the box AND the album? Crazy! This is really unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownian Motion Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 November 29, 2009 Intimate Ella Fitzgerald, Rediscovered By FRED KAPLAN WITH all the multi-disc jazz boxes that have come out in recent years — the complete Miles Davis on Columbia, the complete Charlie Parker on Savoy, the complete Duke Ellington on RCA and so on — it’s hard to believe that any significant tapes by any major musician might still be languishing undiscovered in a record company’s archives. Yet Verve has just released “Twelve Nights in Hollywood,” a four-CD boxed set of Ella Fitzgerald singing 76 songs at the Crescendo, a small jazz club in Los Angeles, in 1961 and ’62 — and none of it has ever been released until now. These aren’t bootlegs; the CDs were mastered from the original tapes, which were produced by Norman Granz, Verve’s founder and Fitzgerald’s longtime manager. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/arts/music/29ella.html?hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm sure this is great. Apparently it's from the same dates as "Ella in Hollywood," which is one of her best live albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranemonk Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 My understanding is that this ALL newly released material... I have the box...

neveronfriday Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Also, as far as I can tell, the set is either sold out in most places or it is on backorder. All the amazon sites are out of stock and have switched to the 2 to 4 weeks bla bla. As an avid collector, I'll do the usual, give the industry the finger and get it elsewhere. Have to, really. It is unbelievable. limited to 8000 sets, whereas any other junk gets a print run of 60 trillion copies.

take5 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 My understanding is that this ALL newly released material... I have the box... Pretty good (A little uneven... but overall good.) Isn't the How High the Moon on here on Pure Ella? This is actually the same source material as Ella In Hollywood. I've never heard that album but apparently it had a bunch of extra applause which this of course does not. NPR was playing it today and I was blown away- I'm not even that big of a fan. But like everyone else here I've heard like a gazillion Ella albums, comps and box sets but this is probably the best one. Ella's Verve material is often so weighed down with orchestration and heady concepts that it's a joy to just here her as a jazz singer. The sound quality is really great, too.

Larry Kart Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Guys! Again, before starting a new thread, please take a look to see if there isn't already a thread on the topic. Cleaning up these multiple threads is tedious and annoying. You know who you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
