Superb! This has to be the definitive Ella performance of Airmail Special! Here she laces the scat with random snatches of lyrics, all beautifully segued into a seamless cascade of music.
I love how she started to sing a few measures early and the band started joking "all right" and then she replied along with the melody "I couldn't hear you" and the band laughs
Чудесно.❤
People don't understand the talent and skill it took to sing this!
Love how she keeps the band on their toes. Although there is structure to the song, every rendition is slightly different. Genius and True Legend

So much like the Benny Goodman / Lionel Hampton version from the Benny Goodman sextet. Love it
Put lady gaga ,Rihanna and the rest of em next to Ella and they would just topple.
I believe that's Don Abney on piano not Oscar.
