Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald truly shines in "The Lost Berlin Tapes," transporting listeners back to a time when jazz reigned supreme and Fitzgerald was the queen of the genre. This collection of previously unreleased recordings captures her in all her glory, showcasing her unparalleled vocal talent and infectious stage presence.

The album opens with Fitzgerald's iconic rendition of "Mack the Knife," and from the first note, you can't help but be captivated by her smooth, velvety voice. Each track is a masterclass in vocal technique, with Fitzgerald effortlessly navigating every twist and turn of the melody.

The real standout of the album, though, is the live recording of "Summertime." Fitzgerald's interpretation of this classic standard is nothing short of mesmerising, with her soulful delivery sending shivers down your spine. It's a performance that truly cements her legacy as one of the greatest jazz singers of all time.

The Lost Berlin Tapes is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, offering a glimpse into the brilliance of Fitzgerald at the height of her career. It's a reminder of why she remains a timeless icon in the music world, and a testament to the enduring power of her artistry. So sit back, pour yourself a cocktail, and let Ella Fitzgerald take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers to the queen of jazz!

Known for her breathtaking range and pitch-perfect delivery, Fitzgerald's performances were always a sight to behold. Throughout her illustrious career, Fitzgerald collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. Her groundbreaking series of "songbook" albums, in which she covered the works of famous composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin, cemented her status as a true musical genius. Fitzgerald's influence extends far beyond the realm of jazz. Her ability to inject emotion and soul into every note she sings has inspired countless artists across genres. From pop to rock to hip-hop, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on through the artists she has inspired.
