Ella dropping scat lines perfectly in between the notes these stunning musicians are playing.....mind bending one of a kind performance ......guaranteed no rehearsal......
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.
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. 👍🏻
The young today have missed so much fantastic music! I have enjoyed all the era’s of music but the Count and Ella will always thrill me, along with their contemporaries of that time! There is nothing like this kind of jazz, for me!!!!
The best of the best....a memorable concert at Montreux 1979! All are artists on stage, the connection with the public, an explosion of musicality by Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie as a reminder of how to swing!!
Ella & Count deux Monstres sacré deux légendes du Jazz & du Blues mais heureusement que l'ont peut encore les entendre de nos jours c'est toujours un plaisir naturellement de pouvoir se remémorer des instants magiques et inoubliables
the tone of count basies piano was indeed wonderful to listen to ..and then you have the most amazing voice of ella fitzgerald singing with this fantastic pianist and his band of course ., glorious..
Ме не очень нравится что россияне впитывают шедевры НАС невозможно победить мы по-доброму восхищаемся и любим прекрасное во всем и поэтому РОССИЯНЕ будем жить❤
There never was another like her, and probably never will be. So much versatility, creativity, spontaneity, playfulness .. it's impossible to grab hold of - in the English language ... or in any language. That kind of genius is not something that can be put into words!
Watched her one night in a club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood singing and having fun imitating a horn player -what a voice and a really never to forget wonderful experience.
Amazing Ella. I was 5 y.o. when my cousin introduce her to me. After then, I couldn't stop learning and listening E;lla. I already had piano at home, then went to music school, started to travel at age 13 singing jazz. I was really lucky with all my teachers. Then college of music and conservatory. Ella the best of the best. Love you lady.
In Frankfurt hab ich sie live erlebt. Bald nach Kriegsende. Im ZELT - weil Ffm. noch in Trümmern lag. Nach dem Konzert im Jazzkeller - unter den Trümmer.
Two bright personalities, two celebrities of jazz music on the same stage❤️❤️🔥❤️❤️ Incredible👍👍🔥🔥👍 Jazz listening all around the world, and also in Ukraine. Thanks a lot for mastering of this performance. Hello from Ukraine (Poltava district, Beliki village)
Ik zal een andere taal toevoegen. Wat een zangeres, wat een muzikanten, wat een humor, wat een plezier! I will add another language. What a great singer, musicians, humor and what a fun!
I grew up in Harlem New York in the 60s. All the old-timers would refer to them as Basie and Ella. My father with liquor on his breath would pick me up hold me in his arms scatting singing telling me how much he loved me. LOL
Да, Монтре фестиваль - это праздник уже ушедших гигантов джаза, таких как Элла, Каунт и многих других, оставивших неизгладимый след в истории джаза. Спасибо блогеру за память о великих...
I try to imagine what it must be like to be in the shoes of these incredible musicians performing together, just cutting loose with all the raw joy & energy their talent generates in them & their audience. Who needs drugs when you can get high on Ella, Count Basie & his band.
superb from beginning to end ! Kudos to some underrated musicians such as Eric Dixon, the former ellingtonian Mitchell Booty Wood, and Keter Betts on bass !
Это живая импровизация...живая!живая. Они вышли и без репетиций сыграли свинг! Какой сленг! Как музыканты свингуют! Инструментальный вокал бесподобен! Вот это мастер-класс! !!
Dios nuestro "G R A C I A S"por habernos dado la oportunidad, tanto a mi esposa como a mi, ver en persona a éstos DOS únicos y maravillosos artstas... A ELLA en el teatro JUÁREZ en Barquisimeto y COUNT BASIE en Disney World...
Con ella para que quieren orquesta! Realmente todo un show, la gracias, talento y armonía de todos. Que gran privilegio verlos y escucharlos. Saludos desde México
Formidable SCAT d'Ella. Un style de jazz, appelé SCAT dont elle est la reine et l'architecte et qui fut une improvisation en 1960 lors d'un concert à Berlin où elle a été atteinte d'un trou de mémoire et à improvisé ce style et le public croyant que ceci faisait partie de son répertoire.
Ella the best female to sing ever, forever, absolutely no questionxx
Pure joy...
Swing, groove, soul and connection.
Don't it make you happy?

Dear Richard white, thank you for story,, thank you for your gift, thank you,, for being you
You can tell Ella Fitzgerald really loved performing and interacting with the band. This was special and a treat to see.
We all miss the great Ella. Love all of her music; her superb Bossa Nova recording is beautiful.
There has never been a better pairing than Ella and Count Basie’s Orchestra!❤️
Checkout Ella and Louis Armstrong!😮😮
All the stated + Duke Ellington ... :)

I saw them perform together in the early seventies. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!
They were born to do what they did and they did it with such Joy and Ease!!
Amen

She was before my time...but time never stopped me from listening 2 the magic in her voice even as a kid growing up! Queen RIP.
The young today have missed so much fantastic music! I have enjoyed all the era’s of music but the Count and Ella will always thrill me, along with their contemporaries of that time! There is nothing like this kind of jazz, for me!!!!

I bought this LP 40+ years ago. It’s been engrained in my mind, so much I listened to it. This is awesome to finally have the visual as well!
Thank you so much for this video !! Ella & Basie....two Giants ! The sound quality is fabulous !!!!
How? Literally how? No I'm legitimately asking how? How does it get better than Ella and Count making music for us?
Watched her one night in a club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood singing and having fun imitating a horn player -what a voice and a really never to forget wonderful experience.
Two great legends Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie.
... not to mention the great Eric Dixon on tenor!
Saw them in Concert at the London Royal Festival hall in the 1970’s. One of the best live performances I saw.
Queen of Jazz
Eric Dixon, one of the most underrated Saxophone player of all time. Love his tone, god it's so good! And all his riffs, are total badass!!
This is perhabs one of the best jazzjams.... ❤
That woman was such a talented musician and natural performer. My skat idol!
WHAT TALENT! UNSURPASSABLE!
What a suite of sounds!
I never get tired of listening to their entire anthology!!!!

@@ВладимирТелепнев-х5ъ Sorry! Facebook is not offering a translation. What language is this?
What a great talent Saw both in concert over 60 years ago. They don;t make music like that anymore. Happy to have lived during that era.
Right you are, that was the ART OF Jazz the resto is silence and very creative 😢
Me too!
Saw her for our 10th Anniversary at the Molin Rouge. She is Amazing. A favorite 🎉
That was beyond fantastic. Absolutely amazing. What a great lady.

Hello from Ukraine (Poltava district, Beliki village)
Ella, the "Queen of Scat" and Count Basie together! A master class on real jazz. We miss their talent.
If you want to realize the uniting beauty of Jazz and these wonderful musicians, just count how many languages are in these comments : ]
Ik zal een andere taal toevoegen. Wat een zangeres, wat een muzikanten, wat een humor, wat een plezier!
I will add another language.
What a great singer, musicians, humor and what a fun!
In High School we brought in Count Basie's Orchestea led by Thad Jones. It was incredible.
That horn section blew your hair back, I bet.
How did you manage to do that? I could imagine what it cost to bring them in!
@@larrymayer Accurate! I was a metal head, and fell in love with Big Bands that night; I was 15 maybe. Went on to study Jazz drums in College ❤❤❤❤
@@joed5901 We did a fundraiser for our Marching Band, and were blessed with Count Basie❤❤❤❤
@@SoCal_619 Fantastic! You know my Dad who is deceased now. I remember him having one or two albums of Count Basie this was back in the 1960's!
Questi grandi maestri un vero DONO a tutta l'umanità, non ci sono parole per apprezzarli. Grazie per essere esistiti
I grew up in Harlem New York in the 60s. All the old-timers would refer to them as Basie and Ella. My father with liquor on his breath would pick me up hold me in his arms scatting singing telling me how much he loved me. LOL
Ella is the great singer forever and nobody can repeat her and won't be able to do it.She 's unique..👌💪♥️♥️♥️

Two giants of the music industry!
Acompanho Ella desde os anos 60 e fico impressionado como domina a voz com improvisos que poucas cantoras conseguem. Simplesmente a musa do jazz.
Amazing. Clear and fun.
Nothing "Tisket a Tasket" about this, this is a Blues in C. Still, this is swing perfection!
Sounds like they close with Tisket?
Wonderful lady Ella
OMG ~ that's all I can say ~ it's Ella and the Count!
Scat Queen Ella!

Sorry friend, but scat went back decades and decades before 1960 at an absolute minimum, and has roots that could easily be traced back centuries.

The Count Was Oh So Smooth!
This is C-Jam Blues, and it’s too much fun!
