It was the greatest ever solo piano album of its time - 1 million copies sold, itβs believed.
It wasnβt planned; itβs from a bootleg copy of a concert from a fan whoβd recorded it.
Also, without an audience - among 4 of the first time recordings - is Caravan on The Greatest Garner, also great.

Mack The Knife (Live At Deutschlandhalle, Berlin, 1960)
Token 1: Ella Fitzgerald with the Paul Smith trio live in Berlin in 1960, her iconic improvisation when she forgets the words.
