On pourra peut-être reprocher à Isabelle Boulay de multiplier les parutions à un rythme effréné. On ne pourra cependant l’accuser d’avoir lésiné sur le travail avec Au moment d’être à vous. Dans cet album live, elle allie matériel original ("Mieux qu’ici-bas") et classiques de la chanson française ("Avec le temps", "Non, je ne regrette rien") et québécoise ("Le Retour de Don Quichotte", "Monopolis"), un judicieux répertoire livré avec grâce par ses musiciens et ceux de l’Orchestre symphonique de Montréal.
Full Title - Au Moment D'Etre A Vous. 2003 Canadian edition of live album for the French Canadian singing star, recorded with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Different tracklisting than the French release. 13 tracks.

Dan Adler has earned his position among the gifted jazz musicians of today. In addition to his rather formidable talents on the guitar he adds compositions of his own to this recording - four in all, and in the company with Frank Loesser and Oscar Peterson he definitely holds his own. In this recording he is joined by the substantial jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco and with Byron Landham on drums. They treat jazz as the art form that it is, each able to take the lead while the others accompany, waiting for their entries into the grand scheme of the piece.

At the end of the 1970s, Ella was in her early sixties (on this particular recording she was 60).
Ella starts with a swinging rendition of `Too Close For Comfort', which was already on her repertoire in the mid-fifties (she first recorded it in duet with Joe Williams accompanied by Count Basies Band). Here her voice has grown older but she proves that doesn't mean her singing qualities have decreased! ~ Amazon
