All That Jazz (with bonus tracks) ... CD Pablo, 1989. Used ... Out Of Stock
Late work from Ella Fitzgerald – but still pretty darn nice, and very much in the sweet small group mode she used often for Pablo Records! Norman Granz produced, so the set's still got echoes of Ella's Verve years – and players include Harry Edison on trumpet, Benny Carter on alto, ... read more CD

Pablo, 1970. Used ... $6.99
Ella Fitzgerald in Budapest – but swinging just as hard as on any of her other records from the time!

Ella In London ... LP Pablo, 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Something groovy always happens to Ella Fitzgerald in London – and in the 60s and 70s, the city became home to some of her best post-Verve recordings!

Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie —
Perfect Match – Ella & Basie ... LP Pablo, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
We're not sure if the match is perfect, but it's still pretty darn nice – a live performance that has Ella Fitzgerald singing in front of the Count Basie Band – all recorded before a very enthusiastic audience at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1979! The set's a nice capper to one of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pablo, 1976. Used ... $6.99
Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass return to the studio just a few years after their initial meeting – once again to work in a stripped-down duet format that's completely sublime!

Sophisticated Lady ... CD Pablo, 1975/1983. Used ... Out Of Stock
Live duets between Ella Fitzgerald and guitarist Joe Pass – done in the same stripped-down style as their studio albums for Pablo! The pairing of talents is quite unique – and makes for some of the most compelling Fitzgerald material you'll hear from the time – really open, free ... read more CD
Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass —
Speak Love ... CD Pablo/Polydor (Japan), 1983. Used ... Out Of Stock
A magical pairing discovered late in Ella's career – but one that brought whole new life into her music! The album revives the duo of Fitzgerald and Pass in the same spare duet setting that made for a few key Pablo records in the 70s – but there's a slight difference here in the way ... read more CD
Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass —
Take Love Easy ... CD Pablo, 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the great Pablo Records efforts to revisit the jazz sound of the 50s – but in fresh new ways allowed by the freer recording modes of the 70s! The album features Ella Fitgerald and Joe Pass, plus nobody else – just voice and guitar coming together in quiet, introspective ways ... read more CD

Ella & Oscar ... CD Pablo (Japan), 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
Ella Fitzgerald, recorded in a nice lean setting – with mostly just the piano of Oscar Peterson to back her up, plus a bit of extra bass from Ray Brown on a few of the album's tracks!

Pablo/OJC, 1977. Used ... $4.99
Ella Fitzgerald swings it nicely with the Tommy Flanagan Trio – a small group on the date for backup, but one who give this Montreux performance almost as much bounce as Ella's 70s live dates with a bigger ensemble! Tommy seems to have a bit more punch in his piano than usual, and Fitzgerald ... read more CD

Milt Jackson —
Soul Believer – Milt Jackson Sings & Plays ... CD Pablo/OJC, 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
Milt Jackson sings, in addition to his familiar vibes on this set – an unusual date done during his Pablo Records run of the late 70s – and a surprisingly great little album overall! As you might guess, Jackson's not the greatest singer in jazz – but it's this quality that also ... (Jazz, Vocalists) read more CD

Joe Turner —
Everyday I Have The Blues ... LP Pablo, 1975. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great mix of jazz and blues from Joe Turner – a set that seems to draw from his Kansas City roots, yet also inflect the sound with some of the blues changes of the 70s! Joe's got two key soloists here – Sonny Stitt on tenor and alto, and Pee Wee Crayton on guitar – and the ... (Blues, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sarah Vaughan —
Crazy & Mixed Up ... CD Pablo, 1982. Used ... Out Of Stock
Nothing crazy and mixed up here, but a wonderful later date from Sarah Vaughan – one that's recorded with subtly sophisticated brilliance! The setting is easygoing and relaxed – far more so than most of Vaughan's records from many years past – and backing is provided by Roland ... read more CD
Sarah Vaughan —
Duke Ellington Songbook Vol 1 ... CD Pablo, 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sarah Vaughan takes on the work of Duke Ellington – almost presented here in a style that's similar to some of the Songbook albums on Verve from the 50s! Billy Byers handles most of the arrangements here – especially on the larger group numbers – but some tracks are also in a ... read more CD

Sarah Vaughan —
How Long Has This Been Going On? ... CD Pablo, 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great little date – one that's presented here with a really classic sense of jazz vocal recording, but oddly the kind of record that Sarah Vaughn hardly ever got to make back in the 50s! The setting is spare and simple – backing by a quartet that includes Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, ... read more CD

... CD
RCA (Brazil), 1977. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
One of a number of excellent albums of Brazilian jazz cut by Sarah Vaughan – a surprisingly great move for the singer, whose style had begun to wear thin by the mid 70s. The record's got a pretty faithful sound, and the musicians on the set include Jobim on piano, plus Mauricio Einhorn, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Send In The Clowns – Sarah Vaughan & The Count Basie Orchestra (20 bit remaster) ... CD Pablo, 1981. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sarah Vaughan is working here with the Count Basie orchestra – but in a way that's still relatively relaxed, and very much in keeping with her best modes of the Pablo years!
