Ella Fitzgerald « Ella, elle l'a, Ce je n'sais quoi, Que d'autres n'ont pas, Qui nous met dans un drôle d'état… » chantait France Gall en 1987, en hommage à celle que le métier du jazz aux Etats-Unis a surnommé « The First Lady Of Song », la première dame de la chanson, et a récompensé de 13 Grammy Awards. Ella, aux côtés de Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, est considérée comme la plus grande chanteuse de jazz. Sa virtuosité, son swing, sa tessiture couvrant pas moins de trois octaves, son charisme, n’ont jamais été égalés. Certains considèrent même qu’elle a magnifié le scat au point que personne n’a pu, depuis, lui venir à la cheville. Ella Fitzgerald, auprès des Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, a porté l’art du jazz si haut qu’il ne peut, après elle, qu’être différent et partir dans une autre direction.

Four discs (104 tracks in all) that exhaustively document the Mercury, Roulette, and Old Town output of big-band veteran Buddy Johnson, whose eternally swinging outfit was seductively fronted by his sister Ella (along with several interchangeable male crooners). Buddy's band wasn't as big as it once was during his Mercury tenure (tenor saxman Purvis Henson was at the core of the blazing horn section), but the tightly arranged New York-style sizzle remained.

Ella Fitzgerald is backed by Marty Paich's Dek-tette on this Grammy-winning 1958 recording of swinging jazz standards. The album features a typical selection of jazz standards from this era, songs from musicals like Frank Loesser's "If I Were a Bell", and a famous jazz instrumental vocalised by Ella, Roy Eldridge's "Little Jazz". This was among several hit albums that Fitzgerald enjoyed in the '50s, when she was reaching the mass audience cutting pre-rock standards.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella and Louis (1956) [Analogue Productions, Remastered 2011] Music

Posted by Designol at Jan. 7, 2025

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original master tapes to vinyl and PCM. The very fact that America's biggest jazz label called one of their albums quite simply Ella and Louis indicates that we are talking about something very special here. And surely enough has been said - "Satchmo" and the grande dame of jazz certainly need no further introduction. In the '50s just the mere mention of their forenames was enough to light up the eyes of jazz fans. A glance at the track list reveals that tranquility rules the day: wild stomps and improvised scats will neither be sought nor missed. Of prime importance to the jazz ballad is a feeling of "letting oneself drift" in the inspiration which gushes forth from the minds of genial American songwriters. This is no contest - for the artists all pursue a common goal with extreme sensitiveness. The background combo, made up of first-class musicians and led by Oscar Peterson, performs with great concentration and almost obtrusive unobtrusiveness.

Ella Fitzgerald - Ella In Hollywood (1961) [Reissue 2009] (New Rip) Music

Posted by gribovar at July 12, 2025

An appearance in Hollywood for a first-rate jazz vocalist was not necessarily an opportunity to broadcast the singer's visage and pander to everyone from Tacoma to Tallahassee. It could also include a date at the Crescendo. The Sunset Strip's best chance to find premier jazz, Gene Norman's nightclub hosted dozens of jazz legends (and a comic or two), and produced more than its share of excellent LPs recorded on location. Better even than Mel Tormé's 1954 classic, the Ella Fitzgerald LP that resulted from her May 1961 appearances generated one of the best (and certainly most underrated) live records in her discography. All of her hallmarks - technical wizardry, breakneck scatting, irrepressible humor and warmth - are on full display, with a small but expressive quartet backing her performance (including pianist Lou Levy, guitarist Herb Ellis, drummer Gus Johnson, and bassist Wilfred Middlebrooks)…

Ella Fitzgerald – Ella A Nice (1971)(OJC/Pablo)

1971 | Jazz | EAC RIP | FLAC+CUE+LOG+HQ-Covers(400Dpi) | 283Mb+9Mb

From 1969 on, Ella would perform in France very often; mainly during the 70s. It´s one of the first recordings of a new appearence model that would become more and more usual as time went by. However, here you will hear Ella still more fresh, surprising and versatile, even considering her serious health problems established at that time; working at a very mixed and interesting setlist that would become routine in the future. Flanagan (piano), De La Rosa (bass) and Thigpen (drums) themselves make this album worthwhile. Ella herself is the phenomenon we´ve known so well. Cheers!

Genre: Jazz

Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong Recognized worldwide as "The First Lady of Song," Ella Fitzgerald is arguably the finest female jazz vocalist of all time. Blessed with a highly resonant voice, wide range, and near-perfect elocution, Fitzgerald also possessed a deft sense of swing, and with her brilliant scat technique, could hold her own against any of her instrumental contemporaries. She came to initial popularity as a member of drummer Chick Webb's band in the 1930s, scoring a hit with a "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," before ascending to wide acclaim in the 1940s with Jazz at the Philharmonic and Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band, and issuing landmark performances like "Flying Home" and "How High the Moon."
