Now this is REAL jazz, Ella and Ellington, superb band, and it simply doesn't get much better than this! Ella was really one of a kind, totally inimitable, no one came close before or after her. She truly WAS the "First Lady of Song!"
I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say there is no greater live recording than this. Ella at her peak. Duke Ellington. Johnny Hodges. That band. The lucky people who were at this concert experienced total greatness. Look at Duke's face just as Ella finishes. It's like, "Even I can't believe what I just heard!"
Ella I know. I get it. I hate when that happens. At any rate, she masterfully swung it backed by no one less than the likes of her good friend , Duke. The world misses the likes of Ella (and Duke) the singer, the person, the generation... just look around this place at this particular moment in time,
Ella and the Duke , two of a kind, Top vocal and Orchestra ! .........💚
This is masterpiece thanks ❤

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT , HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY . I HOPE MUSIC COMES BACK TO THIS !!!!!
Ella never disappoints with her wonderful, expressive vocals. And Duke Ellington had a pretty good orchestra too.
Wow!
Funky and lowdown Ella. Love it.

Brilliant!
That diction! Always on point.
lol! the crowd is going wild - what did she perform BEFORE this? omg. knock us out, Queen. and Sir Duke. 20.7.2024 💗💖💓❤🔥🥰💕💞
Bill Claxton's "Jazz Seen" film brought me here. Ella's voice is very powerful, top!
Got very emotional watching this after searching for it for many years. Thanks for sharing!
One minute I feel like I'm at church then the next second at a nightclub. Either way, feeling good
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH CRITICAL LISTENER , IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!!!!
Swings so god damn hard!😂
Great !!!!
Eterna DIVA 💥❤
💫👏👏
J❤ Ella😂😊
Great relaxed swinging drumming by Gus Johnson. Imagine if he was Duke's regular drummer........
Несравненная Элла Фицджеральд!!! И великий Дюк Эллингтон!!!
А есть полная версия концерта?
Вот еще, но не весь концерт. czcams.com/video/DuXZ7FUmhqs/video.html
Johnny Hodges is the greatest sax player ever! No contest!
Yes sir !!!!
М-да... а сейчас так никто не играет... и не поёт...
As soon as she calls out "Benny Hodges"
it sounds like he is responding with the sax "Ella Fitzgerald".
