Thank you so much! My late husband, who was much older than I am, introduced me to the fabulous Ella. We listened to her on CD’s on long road-trips, until I could identify when the recording was made based on the maturity of her voice. Hearing her sing brings my husband’s memory to mind, both of which brings a smile to my face!
An era of music that reveals the beauty of jazz and the big band sound that so many of us were weaned on. Today’s music is lost on style and emotion-today’s music sucks!

Watch the saxophonist’s glee in the background when Duke quotes “Satin Doll” in his solo. He did that for them, what a band.
Classic!!! Scat master!!!! And, during the scat part, she works in a few bars of My Satin Doll (starting at 1::11).
Height of her powers. Charges me up to go on.
I love your column and your choice of music!!!
Perfect reason to smile😊
