Norman Granz's legendary August 15, 1956 concert did make it to a 2-LP set back then, but it has never been on CD-'til now. And here's the most amazing part: this long-overdue reissue adds 11 previously unreleased Satchmo performances (his duets with Ella Fitzgerald were on the original release, but not his full set); now, we can hear all songs performed that night in their original order for the first time. Armstrong's Mack the Knife; Perdido; the Gypsy, and Ole Miss Blues join Ella's Love for Sale; Just One of Those Things, and Little Girl Blue ; Oscar Peterson's 9:20 Special and How About You ; Art Tatum's Begin the Beguine and Willow Weep for Me, and more!
