They called this “Scat Medley”, I call it pure GENIUS!
Ella Fitzgerald was one of a kind. Her singing was the epitome of phrasing, range and entertainment excellence. But her Scatting was a Work Of Art that nobody could touch.
If this performance doesn’t put a smile on your face, you just plain don’t know what enjoyment is. She has been one missed artist but in reality we’ll always have The Queen Of Jazz.
Live At Montreux June 22, 1969
Tommy Flanagan – piano
Frank de la Rosa – bass
Ed Thigpen – drums
Incredibly talented lady, one of the best Jazz singers to exist. Nice post.
Wow, wow, wow! Love Ella Fitzgerald. They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
Thank You Redpillowoutlaw and yes Diane, Ella defined “WOW” and no sadly they’ll never make them like this again. The things she did were absolutley mesmerizing.
