Biography

Of all the critiques that have been written about Ella Fitzgerald, East Coast music critic Tony Mastrianni’s perhaps best defined her very special song stylings. “In the case of Ella Fitzgerald you have something unique. There continues to be no one like her, no one who uses a voice so completely like a musical instrument. . . . She can stray from the melody, sing around it, and over and under it,… Read more in Amazon's Ella Fitzgerald Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Ella at Her Best, 6 Nov 2007
By InventingCool.Etsy.com "David M." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Very Best of the Duke Ellington Songbook (Audio CD)
Considering how extensive Ella Fitzgerald's recording catalog is, it is very difficult to compare this album to her other work. Nevertheless, from the small group of recordings I've listened to, I sincerely regard this one as Ella at her best. This record finds The First Lady of Song at her most expressive, vulnerable, and comfortable. She glides effortlessly through the diverse styles with her trademark phrasing, tone and scatting, enrapturing listeners with her undeniable talent. From "Take the A Train," a fun vocal record about the best way to Harlem, to "Mood Ingigo" a song so smooth one can taste it, Ella takes supreme command. She was a singer completely in control of her gift, and who used it to its most beautiful potential.

Not to go unnoticed, Duke Ellington's band supports Fitzgerald perfectly. Using unconventional jazz instruments like the violin and guitar, they create a unique sound perfect for a unique voice. I definitely recommend this fantastic album! It's so good it hurts.
