• 1956 was a pivotal year for Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and Joe Williams. Ella was at the top of her game, Basie was enjoying a second acclaimed career with his “New Testament Big Band,” and singer Joe Williams had just won the New Jazz Star award in the Critics’ poll.

• With these three great artists on his label, it was a no-brainer for Norman Granz to feature them in two LPs, “One O’Clock Jump” and “Metronome All-Stars 1956.” By now Basie was the leader of probably the hardest swinging band in jazz, and with Ella and Joe on board it was a marriage made in jazz heaven. She and Joe shine throughout, whether singing separately, or scatting & adlibbing together.

• Gathered here in chronological order for the first time, these must-have sessions mark a memorable coming together of three major jazz talents.

• Featuring: Thad Jones, Joe Newman (tp); Henry Coker, Benny Powell (tb); Marshall Royal (as, cl); Frank Foster, Frank Wess (ts, fl); Charlie Fowlkes (bs); Count Basie (p); Freddie Green (g); Eddie Jones (b); Sonny Payne (d). Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Williams (vcl).

• Total time: 64:00 min. - 17 tracks (including two bonus alternate takes) - 24-Bit Digitally Remastered. Tracks recorded in New York in 1956 and Hollywood in 1957. Originally released on Verve.
