Biography

Ella Fitzgerald is commonly considered to be one of the greatest female jazz singers of all time. In a career spanning nearly 60 years, she released over 50 albums and toured constantly all over the world.

Editorial Reviews

Produced by Sergio Mendes for A&M and wielding a sound comparable to Brasil '66, Bossa Rio boasted two bona-fide Brazilian stars in their ranks: Manfredo Fest and Pery Ribeiro. CD debut for this jazzy bossa-nova gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ella in Hollywood-Ella Fitzgerald, February 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ella in Hollywood (Audio CD)
A great collection of Ella Fitzgerald songs. "Take the 'A' Train" is one of the best renditions ever of this song. Everything you've heard in other Ella Fitzgerald live perfomances are in this recording. Improvising, scat, Ella's version of a popular song of the time etc. Notes include lyrics to all songs as sung during the performance. My personal favorite Ella Fitzgerald album. I have searched for a long time to find this in CD format. Worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fitzgerald, January 2, 2003
This review is from: Ella in Hollywood (Audio CD)
This CD is fantastic and well worth the money. The scatting is out of this world on 'Take the A train' and 'Airmail Special'which is probably one of the fastest scats I have heard.
There is a unusual latin like version of 'Blue Moon'in which Ella makes up the words to alert the audience that she's not afraid to sing a song from the hit parade.
This CD is just as entertaining as The Berlin concert the year before and I can't understand why it's not so well known and only in print in Japan

5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Ella, February 23, 2001
This review is from: Ella in Hollywood (Audio CD)
I grew up listening to this album. I permanently "borrowed" the vinyl from my mother because I couldn't live without it. When it finally came out in CD I was able to replace it for her. This is Ella at her best - in concert, vibrant, sassy , the ultimate in jazz vocals. More than worth the money.
