This budget CD is better than it looks. Although there are two numbers taken from a 1940 broadcast, all of the other selections date from a pair of 1949 performances in which Ella Fitzgerald is backed by a good small combo. Her scatting is very bop-oriented on songs such as "Flying Home," a particularly inspired version of "Mister Paganini," the novelty "Old Mother Hubbard" and "Robbin's Nest." Pity that there is only a half-hour of music included on this disc, particularly when there are four other numbers that exist from the 1949 dates.
