At The Southland Of Boston is a remarkable historical document capturing a pivotal moment in jazz history. This 1974 vinyl release features rare, live radio broadcasts from 1939, showcasing the incredible chemistry between the "First Lady of Song," Ella Fitzgerald, and the king of the Savoy ballroom, drummer Chick Webb.
Recorded at the Southland Café in Boston just months before Webb’s untimely passing, the album vibrates with the raw energy of the Swing Era. It includes stellar performances of tracks like "If I Didn't Care," "Chew, Chew, Chew," and "One O'Clock Jump." Ella’s youthful yet masterful vocals perfectly complement the driving, impeccable swing of the Chick Webb Orchestra, proving why this ensemble was the most feared in the "Battle of the Bands."
