Album Description
Ella Fitzgerald's Twelve Nights In Hollywood is an unprecedented release - a 4-CD box set of 73 completely unreleased live recordings from Ella in her relaxed, absolute prime. For Twelve Nights In Hollywood Verve Select dug into the vault to collect the best of her performances across her extended 10-night 1961 engagement at Los Angeles' Crescendo Club - which originally resulted in the hit LP Ella In Hollywood - and her two-night return engagement the following year, presenting an unforgettable experience that puts you right in the front seat at the club, without repeating any performances from the original album. It includes several tracks never before heard by Ella live, tracks she had just recorded or had yet to record in the studio, and old chestnuts she revisited in a fresh way. Standouts among many across the four discs include "But Not For Me," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," "Perdido," "How High the Moon" and "When Your Lover Has Gone." Twelve Nights In Hollywood is housed in exquisite packaging - same 7 3/8" square dimensions as the Oscar Peterson set, complete with extensive liner notes, detailed annotations, rare photos, and specially commissioned album cover art by Hall of Fame illustrator Bart Forbes. There have been several Ella live albums, but this is indeed unlike any other.

 Twelve Nights in Hollywood July 19, 2010
Steve
Great musicianship by Ella and her sidemen. Unusual Ella in an intimate, live setting. She is at the top of her game in all respects. What a great jazz release.
12 Nights in Hollywood Equals Heavenly listening July 19, 2010
Vincent J. Rufino (New jersey USA)
Those fans of NPR or satellite radio undoubtedly have heard cuts from this collection on programs hosted by Jonathan Schwartz. The singing is Ella at her finest,with wonderful backup musicians. These were not originally recorded for public distribution and were recently found. The four CD's come in a handsome color "book" with details of each session. Whether a great fan or just a casual listener, this set is a must have for those who value the Great American Songbook of repertoire.

Ella - still winning after all these years June 14, 2010
C. Erikson (New Zealand)
This album just confirms her place as the all time queen of swing and jazz. An effortless performance of perfection; she floats and soars , seduces and charms - track after track. Several hours of magic

Ella at her best! June 1, 2010

Ella certainly doesn't need me to endorse her singing. And no buyer of her albums would need my endorsement to decide to purchase one of her albums. A music lover buys an Ella album like a little child eats his or her corn pops. Because they're so good going down. Here Ella provides four CDs out of the vaults from which was drawn her Ella in Hollywood album. I think I have just about every album she ever made but this may be her best. Not only was she in top form, demonstrating a degree of musicality that so-called singers today can only dream about. Whether turning a mellow lyric or going off on a improvisational flight, she is always in firm conrtrol. And when, as often happen in a live recording, she goofs, her immense knowledge of the singing art and her innate charm, brings her back on solid ground before anyone knows what's happening. But more than anything else, this set is greatly valuable because it shows the incredible connection Ella makes with her audience. She draws them in and makes them her own. One last memorable moment: Listen to HOW HIGH THE MOON on disc three. It a variation of her famous recording, but just as much a tour de force. Highly recommended. Ten stars on a five-star scale.
FINAL NOTE: Diring the last years of her life, there raged a silly debate at the core of which was the argument that as musical as Ella was, she was emotionally "shallow"; that her singing was lovely but a monotone. I think was was promoted by publicists for Sarah Vaughn. the singer she was most often compared. As shallow as Ella was, Sarah was that deep. Listen and decide the matter for yourself. I have.
