    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.

    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

    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. 👍🏻
