Ella Fitzgerald - Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! (1961) RESEED torrent

MP3/320kbps

Opening with Dizzy Gillespie's classic "Night in Tunisia," which features some outstanding scatting, CLAP HANDS,

HERE COMES CHARLIE continues in that bop-oriented vein, with versions of "Stella By Starlight" and Monk's "'Round

Midnight." The highest point on the album, though, is a stunning, stripped-down version of "Cry Me a River." The three

bonus tracks, recorded during these sessions, are very good, but not revelatory, though the saucy "I Got a Guy" is

swinging fun.
