Recording information: Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland (07/12/1979). Editors: Dennis Sands; Arne Frager. Photographer: Phil Stern. Although Count Basie gets cobilling with Ella Fitzgerald on this concert recording from the 1979 Montreux Jazz Festival, the veteran pianist is only on the final of the 11 songs. His big band, along with pianist Paul Smith, backs the veteran singer for a set of standards and, although Fitzgerald was beginning to fade, she could still hint strongly at her former greatness. Highlights include "Sweet Georgia Brown," "'Round Midnight" and "Honeysuckle Rose." ~ Scott Yanow
