Ella with trio. She is vivid

Ella Fitzgerald, she doesn't look like how she sound. Tha was my first impression seeing her. That was at Macormick Place, Chicago in 1967. She was backed by Oscar Perterson Trio. So, I remember. But not sure now. Tha was piano trio anyway. That is sure thing.

Till then I have heard her with big bands. That was rather noise to me and I was not the eagar listner of her. But this session gave me the quite different sound that I like. One is that her scat sound much more vivid that that with big band. Listen to this one. She is beautiful. I won't send his kind of high notes to Ella for sure or rather I'd be quiet and let base to the work. That should have been much nicer. "Summertime" at a concert in Berlin/Germany.
