Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. This set is an updated version of it's first vinyl release in Verve's original Jazz At The Philharmonic archival series, now matching the expanded CD edition issued in 2016. It's Ella fronting an all-star band, including Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Buddy Rich, et al, in performances recorded 1949 and 1953. And it's now one dynamic set, with jaw-dropping interpretations of "Oh, Lady Be Good!," "Lullaby Of Birdland" and the jam session "Flying Home." Includes an essay by Will Friedwald.
