Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, takes on the iconic Duke Ellington in this charming album that effortlessly blends smooth vocals with toe-tapping beats. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you'll be transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Harlem.

Fitzgerald's vocals are as velvety as ever, effortlessly gliding through Ellington's timeless classics with grace and style. Tracks like "Mood Indigo" and "Satin Doll" showcase Fitzgerald's range and versatility, while the live small group recordings add an extra layer of intimacy to the listening experience.

The backing band, comprised of some of the finest musicians in the jazz world, provides the perfect accompaniment to Fitzgerald's vocals, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, and it's clear that they are having as much fun playing together as we are listening.

Overall, Ella Fitzgerald Sings Duke Ellington is a must-have for any jazz lover's collection. It's a timeless record that pays homage to two legends of the genre, and proves once again why Fitzgerald is considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time. So sit back, pour yourself a drink, and let the magic of Ella and Duke wash over you. Cheers to jazz!
