Our Take

What ho, old chaps! Today, we're diving into Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas album, "Wishes You A Swinging Christmas." And let me tell you, this jolly ol' record is as swinging as a mistletoe at a 1920s jazz party.

From the moment Ella's velvety smooth vocals hit your eardrums, you'll be transported to a winter wonderland full of toe-tapping tunes and jazzy cheer. The arrangements are as tight as Santa's belt, with each track bursting with festive energy and holiday spirit.

Tracks like "Jingle Bells" and "Sleigh Ride" are given the Ella treatment, with her signature scatting and soulful interpretations taking these holiday classics to new heights. And let's not forget the underrated gem, "The Christmas Song," which will have you reaching for the mulled wine and mince pies in no time.

But it's not all sleigh bells and mistletoe on this album. Ella also delves into the more introspective side of Christmas with heartfelt renditions of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," showcasing her versatility as a performer.

So, grab a cup of eggnog, put on your best Christmas jumper, and let Ella Fitzgerald whisk you away to a swinging Christmas wonderland. It's a festive treat that will have you grooving all the way 'til New Year's Day. Cheers, old chaps!

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.
