Ella Fitzgerald - Live at Falkoner Theatre Copenhagen 6th February 1966

Release date: 24th July 2026
Label: GEARBOX RECORDS
Catalogue No: GB4002

Wondrously uninhibited, and liberated from the added pressure of either a studio or a planned live recording, there is true magic, sparkling energy, and no lowering of intensity in this never-before-released unearthed gem from the Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald.

The night before Ella Fitzgerald walked into Konserthuset in Stockholm and recorded what became The Stockholm Concert,1966, the Pablo Records live album now considered among the essential documents of her late career, she played two concerts at Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen. Ella is backed by the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Jimmy Jones Trio.

Like many other Black American jazz musicians of her era, Denmark felt like home to Ella. It was a country where they found a degree of respect that the United States too often denied them.

Ella's ease in her adopted home was palpable when she walked onto the Falkoner Theatre stage that Sunday. And, now the results are released on record for the frst time, and with the full blessing of Ella's estate, we are treated to an irrepressible, unexpectedly vital addition to her canon.
