Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, has been immortalized in the latest release "Goldin." This compilation album showcases Fitzgerald at her absolute best, with those smooth, sultry vocals that have captivated audiences for decades.

From the opening track "Summertime" to the closing notes of "Blue Skies," Fitzgerald effortlessly glides through each song with a grace and precision that few could ever hope to match. It's as if she's not just singing the lyrics, but embodying them, living and breathing every note.

The orchestration on "Goldin" is truly something to behold, with lush strings and bouncy brass providing the perfect backdrop for Fitzgerald's stunning voice to shine. Each track is a masterclass in musicality, with Fitzgerald's phrasing and timing impeccable throughout.

One standout moment on the album is the rendition of "Mack the Knife," where Fitzgerald's scatting is truly a thing of beauty. It's a performance that is sure to send chills down your spine, as you marvel at the sheer talent and artistry on display.

Overall, "Goldin" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, showcasing Ella Fitzgerald at her absolute peak. It's a timeless collection of songs that proves why she is considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time. So sit back, relax, and let Ella's voice wash over you - you won't be disappointed.

Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, is a jazz icon who needs no introduction. With a career spanning over six decades, Fitzgerald's mesmerising voice and improvisational skills have earned her a well-deserved spot in the music hall of fame. Born in 1917 in Virginia, Fitzgerald's talent was evident from a young age. Discovered at a Harlem talent show in the 1930s, she quickly rose to fame with her smooth, velvety vocals and impeccable scatting techniques. 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. As a music reviewer, it is hard not to be in awe of Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent and impact on the music world. Her timeless voice continues to enchant listeners to this day, proving that true talent knows no bounds. Ella Fitzgerald may no longer be with us, but her music will live on forever.
