Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, is back with a bang in The Complete Birdland Broadcasts. Joined by the incomparable Hank Jones on piano, this collection of live recordings captures the essence of the jazz legend at her best. The energy and charisma she exudes on stage is palpable, making it feel as though you're right there in the audience at Birdland.

Fitzgerald's velvety vocals soar effortlessly over Jones' masterful piano accompaniment, creating a symbiotic musical partnership that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the swinging rhythms of "Mack the Knife" to the heartfelt balladry of "Someone to Watch Over Me," each track showcases the sheer brilliance of this dynamic duo.

But what truly sets this album apart is the banter between Fitzgerald and Jones. Their playful interactions add an extra layer of charm to the proceedings, giving listeners a glimpse into the warmth and camaraderie shared between these two musical giants.

So, grab a cocktail, sit back, and let yourself be transported to the golden age of jazz with The Complete Birdland Broadcasts. Ella Fitzgerald and Hank Jones deliver a performance that is not just music, but pure magic. This album is a testament to the enduring legacy of two titans of the genre. Don't miss out on this musical journey through time.

About the artist

Ella Fitzgerald

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.
