Recorded at Hollywood's intimate Crescendo Club in the early ’60s, this four-album set saw release for the first time in 2009. It’s an unearthed testament to the beloved jazz singer’s live prowess, easily balancing emotional extremes like a scratchy-voiced, especially comic take on “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” and the slow, tear-jerking “Angel Eyes.” Beyond confirming her reputation as a world-class improviser, these tracks showcase the sheer exuberance swelling up behind everything she sang—just observe that contagious call-and-response on “Ol’ Man Mose.”
