Learsfool:
****Which Ella and Basie album are you listening to?*****
It's titled "Ella and Basie". All tunes arranged by Quincy Jones. I like it, but not as much as the Ellington Songbook. For one thing the last 6 tracks consist of two verions of "My Last Affair" and FOUR(4) tracks of the tune "Robbins Nest". That's silly.
The CD does include the song "On the Sunny Side of The Street". But I do not have the CD by that name.
But, she is impeccable as always. Even singing the same song four times in a row!!
I have several of her 'songbooks' and "A Perfect Match / Ella and Basie", and also the Birthday CD from Rome. As you said, it's awesome.
Cheers
