This is a limited edition 2022 reissue vinyl LP pressing of Best of the Big Band Sessions by Ella Fitzgerald. Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald’s paths had crossed many times during the Thirties, Forties, and early Fifties, but no recorded trace of the two legendary musicians collaborating existed until 1957 when they would come together to produce a series of sessions which include the music on this LP.
