Ella Fitzgerald on What is Jazz

[@philiplilienthal1258]

One of my most gratifying evenings was sneaking in to the Ella Fitzgerald concert for the then new Smith College President. Fortunately, the window I climbed in was where the Will Mastin trio was hanging out and they thought this white college kid was cool. She had a fuschia scarf that she used as a prop. No one wanted her singing to end. Smooth as silk.

Such a treasure to witness two great artists having so much fun together, with precision and freedom in their sandbox.

[@jeworthen8198]

Love it..84 now remember Ella since I found her at 13 yrs old!! And loved her with Mel!

[@markrolanmaravilla1778]

How lovely! God Bless youu

[@janethowe8812]

WOW. So much talent in one spot. So amazing to hear. Her voice so incredible. So clear and perfect. There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald. Back in my generation, some people used to make fun of Mel Torme. They never gave him the credit he deserved. He was a mellow-voiced singer and also a songwriter. If those people poking fun of him ever heard this, they would take back every mean thing they ever said about him. Nothing like hearing a little jazz and scat to make your day brighter.

[@sandraspruill4831]

That's Mel Tormè with Miss Ella😊 They are taking that house down!! ❤

[@1956gaba]

My dad was a Jazz musician in New Orleans back in the 50’s and 60’s. He said Ella was the best!

[@계정-k5n]

Very cool!

[@kateforgach2553]

Do you mind if I ask your father’s name? I covered the arts for the Times Picayune back in the day and knew many of the exemplary musicians. What thrills!

Love good scat and they were the best!

[@lindahillemann5880]

I have a number of Ella Fitzgerald CDs and recordings because I love her work and remember seeing her on shows like Ed Sullivan. I completely forgot about Mel Torme!! Thanks for reintroducing him to me. I need to start scouring KZbin and Apple Music for his tunes.

[@christinamorris1594]

Simply the best! Together! Amazing archive. I LOVE it!

[@williamb4335]

There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald. Simply amazing. I wish I could have seen her perform live. I also wish I could have seen Lambert Hendricks and Ross too.

[@kindell1]

The perfect explanation. It couldn't have been made clearer ❤️

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

What a great version of great scat singers! Two of my favorites!

[@marlablow116]

Grinning from ear to ear through this entire clip!!!!❤❤

[@mikerodriguez0420]

Doesn't get any better than this. They just don't have anyone these days that can even compete on this level with these two!!!

[@ruthopenstone3432]

Two of the best ever. Thrilling!

[@leffryportis]

I cannot get enough of this. WOW!!!

[@86forever]

OMG !!!! Why doesn't this have more views ??.. There was another of the same video that was up a few years ago but was taken down and it had a bunch of views I'd take this over much of the music that's out today !!

[@JDubbs1965]

Best explanation ever!

[@Jazzmentl]

I shared this in my community. It made me smile 🙂

[@Dharmaku56]

The greatest moment in music history...yeah, JAZZ!

[@christianlibrul]

She had perfect pitch. Bands tuned to HER.

[@BenW-t1j]

Allegedly so did Mel. They were both incredible.

[@nina-ct7pl]

This makes me very happy.

[@ponlucy8026]

"What is jazz" is now big famous in korea by Ju Homin(a.k.a Ju-perl) who is famous web-toon writer and streamer.

[@bdonnici]

There's no one who could stay like these 2...especially Ella

[@billiehanson1622]

The Velvet Fog was a true match for the Queen of Jazz! Love them both!

I think I saw the Brothers Johnson

[@piustwelfth]

Those were two of the Pips -- not Brothers Johnson. One was Bubba Knight, and other guy was also a "Pip" of Gladys Knight and the Pips.
