Ella Fitzgerald in concert Berlin 1968

[@cornelispeters6626]

I can not say this enough , i am a lucky guy to have seen and heard her live 10 times. A talent like this only comes along only once in a lifetime.

You are happy!!!!! I need you to talk to me about that, please. I'm Argentinean. Thank you. My mail: [e-mail]

[@christophernewman8556]

So jealous! But happy for you. You are indeed lucky. I think Ella was the hardest working person in show business. She toured constantly. I think she just knew that in order to keep it and keep developing she had to be going 200mph. Like a Maserati or BMW driving gingerly would wreck the engine, she had to get out on to the autobahn and push the limits.

[@abodabalo]

Obsession with Ella lasts a life time.

[@MeirivamCosta]

I agree!!!😂😂😂

[@jeh500]

Genius singer and musician. She had no peers!

[@Moonflower273]

Ella is the great mother of Jazz. Her melismatics are natural perfection. It surprises with mystique in unpredictable tonal jumps, just like Jazz should be.

[@ellalena1873]

The sound of her voice..... nobody, anywhere, never ever can equal Ella.

THANK YOU! Superior Comment!!

[@timolaf2798]

Thanks for the info, but one correction. At 33 : 26 the song is not "Groovin' High" but rather "Ray's Idea" composed by Ray Brown. Oh and from what I've read, the drummer is Joe Harris.

[@larrydwyer2592]

@@timolaf2798 Tim, Thanks for the correction about Ray's Idea at 33:26. However, if you look at photos of Freddie Waits and Joe Harris, it does appear that the drummer on this performance is Freddie Waits.

Ella Fitzgerald is the first name you think of when someone mentions outstanding female jazz singers. Dubbed ‘The First Lady of Song,’ Fitzgerald had an extensive career that ran into the late 80s, earning 13 Grammy Awards, and setting the standard for future jazz artists. She is known for her flawless diction, her silky tone, and her incredible ability to improvise using her scatting skills. 33:33 [Pink Wafer Club]

[@AnnaAwe]

I’m amazed not only by the quality and musicality of Ella’s voice but also her ability to tell the stories of the songs so expressively and clearly! Also, the musicians are doing a great job and I love their energy.

[@piustwelfth]

It's even more amazing when one realizes that Ella had little formal education. Despite this, Ella's diction was flawless even with the complicated lyrics she often sang. This is one of many reasons why composers were thrilled with Ella's versions of their songs. Her songbook albums of the 1950's are a wonder to behold.

[@MeirivamCosta]

It's true! ❤

[@marilyncalkins2697]

The band is the bomb off the chart fantastic

[@963robw]

The most naturally gifted, supremely talented vocalist that has ever been. You even see it in reactions of the band members around her. The awe she inspired was well deserved.

[@wernermatrisch2]

Ellas' version of "For Once In My Life" "is so touching, my tears flow.....and maybe "Summertime" is her best live version of these song ever! Outstanding!

Tudo na vida para vir a existir, tem que se materializar. E a materialização só acontece , quando a pessoa coloca sua inteligência, seus talentos , sua ação , sua força intelectual e seu amor por aquilo que ela quer criar e fazer vir à existência materializada. Se você olhar para o espaço sideral na madrugada , você verá que nada acontece por acaso ou venha a existir do nada ou por acidente. Tem alguém de inteligência superior que usou a sua inteligência e seu amor para vir à existência o universo das estrelas, galáxias, planetas. Leia o livro de Gênesis da Bíblia e você verá que tudo veio à existência pela trindade espiritual: Deus Pai Jeová, Deus Filho Jesus Cristo e Deus Espírito Santo . São três divindades espirituais com o mesmo pensamento, com o mesmo caráter e mesmo amor. Além dEles criarem o universo, Eles criaram um só homem Adão e uma só mulher Eva. E desse casal Eles criaram com suas próprias mãos. Do pó da terra fez Adão. E de Adão tirou a costela dele para criar Eva. E desse casal geraram toda criação humana, por isso que o casal Adão e Eva são primeiros pais de toda raça humana . A natureza não é nossa mãe como acreditam os indigenas outras religiões , filosofias e antropólogos . Por isso , quando morremos, voltamos ao pó porque foi de lá que viemos. Já o universo , a fauna e a flora, as nascentes , mares ,sol , etc... tudo foi criador pelo poder da autoridade da palavra de Deus ( Jeová, Jesus Cristo e o Espírito Santo ). Eles disseram com o poder de suas palavras : Haja luz ! E imediatamente a luz surgiu. Jesus Cristo sempre existiu de eternidade em eternidade. Como os anjos que por Eles forem criados, são todos seres espirituais . E para que a humanidade conhecesse o Deus Pai Jeová, Jesus materializou- se no útero de Maria por intervenção do Espírito Santo é Ele se tornou um ser físico e espiritual ao mesmo tempo. É por isso que Jesus Cristo fazia milagres, curava e ressuscitará os mortos. Maria apenas foi uma barriga de aluguel, para que o filho de Deus Jeová viesse à existência e se materializasse para que a humanidade o conhecesse e conhecesse o seu libertador do pecado. Quando Jesus disse nariz: está consumado! Ele estava confirmando diante da humanidade de outros universos não atingido pelo pecado, que o plano da salvação e da redenção havia se cumprido por Ele. A humanidade foi resgatada da morte eterna, que foi imposta pelo pecado de Lúcifer e de Adão e Eva.. E a partir daquele momento, passamos a ter direito à vida e a vida eterna e o direito do perdão de Deus Jeová. Mas, também, a partir daquele momento Lúcifer ou Satanás, recebeu de Deus Jeová a sentença da morte eterna e ele não viveriam mais eternamente. Só viveria por um pouco mais de tempo até o dia da vinda de Cristo . Estamos vivendo no tempo do fim e em breve chegará o fim do tempo . Quer saber mais ! Vai à uma biblioteca pública e procure um livro chamado: A história da redencao , da autora americana Ellen White e compare as passagens bíblicas com o que ela diz no livro. Assista a programação: Na mira da verdade e a voz da profecia. São dois programas que são exibidos na TV Rede Novo Tempo, canal aberto, aqui no Brasil. Em outros países procure no canal fechado . Você encontrará a sua felicidade espiritual e 5era uma grande paz interior como a maioria que tem lido 3ss3s livros e assistido as programações. Abraços!:

[@Gurci28]

She was simply the best woman that sang jazz or any other kind of music - one of the most loved by fans across the world. Able to improvise with her voice like a bebop horn player, Fitzgerald was also a silky balladeer who was able to balance technique with sensitivity. 19:19 [uDiscoverMusic]

[@antunivanovic]

Words cannot describe the joy her voice brings...

[@chevreherd]

So thankful for this recording

[@AnnaAwe]

I also appreciate the variety of sounds she produces and how she is unafraid to use subtlety. Her use of dynamic variation is amazing. Some contemporary singers just belt all their songs to the point where it seems they’re trying to show off instead of tell a story. But Ella tells the story.

[@annakareninacamara6580]

I have no ideia of how many times I've heard this rendition of Summertime, but somehow... I get chills and goosebumps at every. single. time. It has to be the best version ever sung. You gotta love the smile in the pianist's face at the "one of these mornings".

[@clarkhowell8267]

True dat.

[@marilyncalkins2697]

Fantastic some of the best jazz happened in the 60' and much earlier, but I was 18yrs and had the great experience of hearing many. What a gift

[@christophernewman8556]

Ella was never afraid to try something completely different in the moment. It doesn't always work, but that doesn't matter because it's so exciting and when it does work it's pure genius. I'm grateful there's so much live concert footage of Ella. By the time I got to see her live she couldn't walk anymore. Don't worry she could still swing and the voice was thrilling. But I appreciate getting to see how physical she was in concert. Of course when she first went to the Apollo theater she entered the competition as a dancer so it makes sense that movement is essential to how she produced sound. I'll never get enough Ella no matter how long I live. Thanks for posting.♥️🍾🥂

So rare to hear such a voice full of emotion and passion. I could listen to her incredible performances all day.

[@maxinepeel7057]

This lady is outstanding - was and still is. I heard her as I grew up and I learned how to whistle to her singing. Yes whistling like a bird. She had the vocal cords I didn't. A note of interest: she lived with type 1 diabetes a disease that robs a body and mind of so very much. To the very end she went on stage and gave it her all. I too live with this disease - hmmm... makes you wonder huh? Fortunately, with the technical upgrades and knowledge I live a very good life as it was like she was in my life as a warning, a lesson for me to take care of myself. Her strength and stamina and vigour for life is my constant reminder. I'm sure all of her fans still miss her very much. Thanks

There will only be one Ella, one Sarah and one Billie, and to have all three in one lifetime remains unsurpassed. Let me also put in a good word for Anita O'Day (possibly the best white jazz vocalist) and the much under-rated Carmen McRae who was something else!

[@tomkelly4336]

also please include Mel Torme a phenomenal talent also. I was lucky enough to see Ella and what always surprised me was this girlish quality that she had even in her 60s.
