One of my most gratifying evenings was sneaking in to the Ella Fitzgerald concert for the then new Smith College President. Fortunately, the window I climbed in was where the Will Mastin trio was hanging out and they thought this white college kid was cool. She had a fuschia scarf that she used as a prop. No one wanted her singing to end. Smooth as silk.

WOW. So much talent in one spot. So amazing to hear. Her voice so incredible. So clear and perfect. There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald. Back in my generation, some people used to make fun of Mel Torme. They never gave him the credit he deserved. He was a mellow-voiced singer and also a songwriter. If those people poking fun of him ever heard this, they would take back every mean thing they ever said about him. Nothing like hearing a little jazz and scat to make your day brighter.

Such a treasure to witness two great artists having so much fun together, with precision and freedom in their sandbox.

My dad was a Jazz musician in New Orleans back in the 50’s and 60’s. He said Ella was the best!

Do you mind if I ask your father’s name? I covered the arts for the Times Picayune back in the day and knew many of the exemplary musicians. What thrills!

There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald. Simply amazing. I wish I could have seen her perform live. I also wish I could have seen Lambert Hendricks and Ross too.

I have a number of Ella Fitzgerald CDs and recordings because I love her work and remember seeing her on shows like Ed Sullivan. I completely forgot about Mel Torme!! Thanks for reintroducing him to me. I need to start scouring KZitem and Apple Music for his tunes.
