I have an audio tape of a WTTW "Soundstage" presentation that was broadcast live in 1981. It featured all the above artists plus the full Basie Big Band. The reason I mention this is this past weekend when I was in DC for Thanksgiving I toured the Museum of American History and saw a small exhibit devoted to Ella's career. The display was no big deal but did feature an exerpt from this broadcast.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a DVD of this performance. I assume Norman Grantz's estate would own the rights to this memorable video document. It would be quite a find.
