MP3/320kbps

The Pablo label (and Norman Granz\'s return as a full-time producer) was launched with this wonderful package, first released as a three-LP set and now available as a three-CD reissue. The 1972 concert was originally supposed to only feature the Count Basie Orchestra and Ella Fitzgerald but Granz surprised everyone by inviting some \"guests\": trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry \"Sweets\" Edison, the tenors of Stan Getz and Eddie \"Lockjaw\" Davis, pianist Oscar Peterson and bassist Ray Brown. Together with Basie-trombonist Al Grey they formed the Jazz at the Philharmonic All-Stars and play wonderfully on three jams (listen to Elridge\'s break on \"In a Mellow Tone\") and a ballad medley. In addition there are four selections from Basie\'s band (featuring the tenor of Jimmy Forrest, trumpeter Pete Minger and altoist Curtis Peagler), a full set from Fitzgerald and a Peterson-Brown duet on \"You Are My Sunshine.\" The highpoint of the concert however is the final song, a classic version of \"C Jam Blues\" which finds Fitzgerald trading off in very humorous fashion with Grey, Getz, Sweets, Lockjaw and Eldridge; each of the encounters has at least one remarkable moment.
