Live At Falkoner Theatre

Description

Liberated from the pressure of a studio session or a planned live recording, this unreleased gem radiates authentic magic, sparkling energy, and an intensity that never wanes. The day before her concert at the Konserthuset in Stockholm, where she would record what would become The Stockholm Concert, 1966 - the live album from Pablo Records now considered one of the landmark documents of her later career - Ella Fitzgerald gave two concerts at the Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen. Like many African American jazz musicians of her generation, Ella felt at home in Denmark, a country where she found a respect often denied in the United States. Her ease on stage at the Falkoner Theatre that Sunday night was undeniable. For the very first time, these performances are now available on record. Presented with the full support of the Ella Fitzgerald estate, they reveal an exuberant and surprisingly vibrant addition to her recorded legacy.
