On February 10, 1961 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, just one year after her famous concert in Berlin, Ella found herself once again in front of a packed house
Following a sober presentation of the musicians by Norman Granz, Ella enters the stage
With the freshness of the eternal, slightly impertinent little girl, she propels herself one note into the rhythm of "Too Close For Comfort"
The voice settles down, she holds her audience by the hand, softly, surely
Ella settles on stage as if she were in her living room
She welcomes each spectator like a privileged guest
Each piece is a glass of champagne that she offers with grace
Sometimes melancholic, sometimes joking, most of the time laughing, dynamic and catchy
Hilariously inventive Ella!
As Bing Crosby used to say: »Man, woman or child, Ella is the greatest of them all«
