  • Zu Ella Fitzgerald Vom 2.12.2019
    Ella Fitzgerald Story auf Radio 700 vom Montag, den 2.12.2019, 18.55 - 21.00 Uhr Autoren: Klaus Huckert/Uwe Lorenz Einleitungsmusik: A Tisket, A Tasket Anmoderation: In der heutigen Sendung des Jazz-Cocktails wollen wir uns mit dem Star des Vocal- Jazz Ella Fitzgerald beschäftigen. Im 20.Jahrhundert prägte keine andere Stimme den Jazz so sehr wie die von Ella. Ihre Beinamen waren „The Queen of Jazz“ oder „The first Lady of Jazz“ bzw. auch „The first Lady of Song“. Zur Eröffnung haben wir bereits ihren ersten Millionen-Hit „A Tisket, A Tasket“ aus dem Jahr 1938 gehört. In der fast sechzig Jahren währenden Welt-Karriere nahm die Sängerin mehrere hundert Platten auf, erhielt 14 Grammys und eine Vielzahl an Ehrungen. Schnelle Tempi im Bebop-Gesang, melancholischer Grundton bei Balladen, mitreißender Groove bei Swing-Nummern und hochinteressante Scat-Einlagen kennzeichneten ihren Stil. Basis ihres Könnens war eine Genauigkeit in der Intonation und glasklare Töne, wie man sie heute selten findet. Ihr Repertoire umfasste den Swing, Bebop, Blues, Bossa Nova und Gospel. Musik aus dem genannten Repertoire (Swing, Bebop, Blues, Bossa Nova und Gospel) z.B. „Please don’t talk about it when I am gone“ (Swing“) CD „Count Basie/Ella Fitzgerald: The perfect Match“, „One note Samba“ (CD „Ella & Pass …Again“) Track 14, „St. Louis Blues“ (CD „Ella & Basie The Perfect Match Track 10), „Mack the Knife“ (Swing) (CD Ella in Berlin, (10er Pack REEL TO REEL) …….. Die Anfangsjahre von Ella Fitzgerald (Take 1) Ella Jane Fitzgerald – geboren 1917 in Newport News/Virginia, verstorben 1996 in Beverly Hills/Kalifornien -, hatte eine relativ schwierige Kindheit.

  • Ella Fitzgerald from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ella Fitzgerald From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ella Jane Fitzgerald Born April 25, 1917 Newport News, Virginia, United States Died June 15, 1996 (aged 79) Beverly Hills, California, United States Genres Swing, bebop, traditional pop, vocal jazz Occupation(s) Singer, actress Instruments Vocals Years active 1934–1993 Labels Capitol, Decca, Pablo, Reprise, Verve, Brunswick, HMV Website ellafitzgerald.com Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. After tumultuous teenage years, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with performances on many stages in the Harlem area, including her rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" that helped boost her to fame. In 1942, Fitzgerald left the amateur performances behind, signed a deal with Decca Records, and started her solo career by redefining the art of scat singing. It was not until her manager, Norman Granz, built Verve Records based on her vocal abilities that she recorded some of her more widely noted works. Under this label, Fitzgerald focused more on singing than scatting, providing perhaps her most career-defining works in her interpretation of the Great American Songbook. While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and as guests on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside of her solo career.

(To make things easier, I would simultaneously relegate Frank Sinatra to the "pop" category.) Her career was long and rich. She recorded iconic albums with the best jazz musicians and arrangers of her day and collections of tunes from the twentieth century's most renowned songwriters. Her vast discography bursts with classics spanning more than four decades. She possessed a pellucid voice and wide range, she enunciated perfectly, and she could keep up with the most swinging sidemen. What she lacked in emotive powers she made up for with sheer joy, which even her lesser recordings demonstrated. The sun always seemed to be shining when Ella was in front of the microphone. Ella and Louis Again was one of five LPs she recorded in 1957. A collection of duets with Louis Armstrong, another sunny presence, it was the follow-up to 1956's Ella and Louis. The two of them had recorded together in the 1940s, but it was this pair of later albums that cemented their unique interplay -- gravely voiced Armstrong adding some yang to Ella's crystal-clear yin.

  • Louis Armstrong
    Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971),[1] nicknamed Satchmo[2] or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter, composer and singer who became one of the pivotal and most influential figures in jazz music. His ca- reer spanned from the 1920s to the 1960s, covering many different eras of jazz. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an “inventive” trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from col- lective improvisation to solo performance. With his in- stantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing. Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong’s influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African- American entertainers to “cross over”, whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was ex- tremely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, Handcolored etching Louis Armstrong (2002) by Adi Holzer but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation dur- ing the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper ech- elons of American society which were highly restricted in the care of his grandmother, Josephine Armstrong, and for black men of his era.
