Sophisticated Lady

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

One of the gems left unreleased by Norman Granz, and sunk into Fantasy vaults for two decades.
Highly recommended for jazz afficionados, this consists of two different live performances.
Late in Ella career, this still has it.
This is the (common) edition, with the medley in one track.
