Title: Ooh Madalena by Elis Regina, the master
Review: When Ella Fitzgerald came to Rio de Janeiro in 1971, she got impressed by a track she listened to from a cassette tape someone had presented her. It was the smash hit of the moment - "Madalena" by composer Ivan Lins as sung by Elis Regina. It was 1971 and Ella has recorded it live in 1972 in her Jazz the Philharmonica concert at the Santa Monica Civic. The master Elis Regina counted on the great Chiquinho de Morais as her arranger for this album. Another smash hit from this album was Marcos Valle's "Black is Beautiful".
