Many of Ella’s recordings with just piano accompaniment are great. However, hard to overlook two with band that are on many “best” lists, “Ella in Berlin” (with quartet) and “Ella and Basie” (big band). Highly recommended!
With piano only, “Ella and Oscar” (Peterson) is a must have. The great Ray Brown joins Peterson on the B side of the record.
