Norman Granz sold the Verve label to MGM Records in 1961, but continued to manage her career and produce Ella Fitzgerald's recordings. Granz supervised frequently live concert tours, planning several live projects for release on record. In late January 1964 work began on an album, called Ella In Nippon, the album did not reach past the post-production stage, remaining uncompleted and unreleased for 47 years. Tracks 1 to 12 on this 2011 release are the tracks Norman Granz mixed for the unreleased album Ella In Nippon.[2]
