here’s a very cheery show from almost a decade ago. this performance was just after the release of “haven’t we met”, presumably part of the tour to promote that album. this was shared on dime in mid-2011 by ‘plaz_restore’.
there is one little glitch, a 9-second clip from a comedy skit in the middle of track 8, that sounds to me as if it’s from the original broadcast. i think you’ll enjoy this anyway!

this is one of my favorite lounge recordings, with that bit of background noise giving atmosphere but not taking too much away from the music. only problem (if it is that) is that you need to turn this up a bit. a nice collection of classics, including one of my favorites ‘willow weep for me’
n. we have several of pink martini’s cds, but this is the only concert recording that i have of them, recorded & shared on dime by ‘zzzaccount’.
here’s a short video from 1965, at the centenary of ella fitzgerald’s birth.
