I agree, can't beat this stuff -- Ella the nightingale with Count Basie!
@toddush
In my opinion this is the best album by Ella. Of course its because of Basie and I think Quincy Jones(! ) who was a producer.All of them contributed this masterpiece of sound. I am looking for "Honeysuckle Rose" from this album.Its the best version of that song ever. Any response??? Thank you for uploading!
