    I met both Ella Fitzgerald and Bill "Count" Basie on the same wonderful night at Small's Paradise in NYC's Harlem in 1960 when I was 8 years old. I always say that singing that one song at that jazz jam session with Basie playing the piano and Ella complimenting me afterwards was the night I became a jazz vocalist. We met many times after that night over the next 11 years until I went into the Army and on to Vietnam and they both were always kind and encouraging to me.

  • @gabrielashkar9941
    @gabrielashkar9941 4 месяца назад +3

    Absolutely and incredibly delightful. Of course ‘A Tisket, a Tasket’ was the first hit for Fitzgerald but this must be a Scat version of the song. Ella was a master of Scat singing that was first mistakenly performed by Louis Armstrong as he once forgot the words of a song he was singing. Female vocalists in the 1930’s and beyond were valued by their ability to sound like horn instruments (trumpets & trombones etc) and, as revealed in this video, Ella was one of the greatest in this art. Altogether a wonderful performance with the Count Basie orchestra, that was one of the leading Jazz bands of the Swing era. Thank you for sharing this memorable video. 👍🏻
