Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald (Podcast #18-017)
https://ellingtonreflections.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/portrait-of-ella-fitzgerald-podcast.mp3Ella Fitzgerald is a great philanthropist. She gives so generously of her talent, not only to the public, but to the composers whose works she performs. Her artistry always brings to mind the words of the Maestro, Mr. Toscanini, who said concerning singers, “Either, you’re a good musician or you’re not.” In terms of musicianship, Ella Fitzgerald is “Beyond Category.”
