FRANK SINATRA AND ELLA FITZGERALD LIVE ON BROADWAY WITH THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA
















Back in 1976 somebody got the idea that Frank Sinatra and EllaFitzgerald should perform together on Broadway. So they booked the Uris Theater for X amount of weeks, added Count Basie and his orchestra to the bill, and then they put on a show. In our audio section you will hear some samples of the results. I love hearing Ella and Frank calling out the soloist's names during their songs, as the Basie band at that time was a veritable Who's Who of jazz.
