Also included are Ella and Louis's own takes on Gershwin from contemporary sessions, including Fitzgerald's Jazz at the Philharmonic version of \"Oh, Lady, Be Good!\" (from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the Opera House\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e) that includes Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and Stan Getz among the tenor saxophonists.
