Jazz at Santa Monica '72 is a 1972 live album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald , recorded at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium accompanied by a jazz trio led by the pianist Tommy Flanagan , and the Count Basie Orchestra .
This concert was initially sold through mail order by the jazz producer and impresario, Norman Granz , as a three-LP set. The success of the album led to Granz founding Pablo Records , his first record label since Verve Records , which he had sold to MGM .
The concert was originally intended to feature only the Count Basie Orchestra and Ella Fitzgerald, but Granz invited some surprise "guests", the trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry "Sweets" Edison , the tenor saxophonists, Stan Getz and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis , and the pianist Oscar Peterson and bassist Ray Brown .
