New Track From Ella Fitzgerald – “Taking a Chance on Love” from ‘The Lost Berlin Tapes’

A never-before-heard live recording from the First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald, has surfaced. The Lost Berlin Tapes will be released on Verve Records on October 2, 2020.

The Lost Berlin Tapes were recorded in stereo at Berlin’s Sportpalast on March 25, 1962 and finds Ella at the top of her game with a trio led by pianist Paul Smith, Wilfred Middlebrooks on bass, and Stan Levey on drums. Fitzgerald played Berlin two years prior, where she famously turned forgotten lyrics into absolutely sensational improvisation — ad-libbing lyrics while channeling her best Louis Armstrong.

Watch the “Taking A Chance On Love” animated music video created as a tribute by Cecile McLorin Salvant.

The Lost Berlin Tapes tracklist:

1. Cheek To Cheek
2. He’s My Kind Of Boy
3. Cry Me A River

Armageddon, it's gotten / No savior jailer can take it from me / World ending, it's just beginning / And rock and roll is what I'm born to be.
