When Joe Williams was asked to select his favorite recordings by his dear friend Ella Fitzgerald, he was far too modest to mention the series of duets that the two of them had taped together in 1956. It was only when Williams had listed a dozen or so titles that he was asked (with some trepidation), "How about if we include 'Too Close for Comfort'?" William's reply was a reassuring, "Oh yes, please!" He has good reason to be proud: He was, after the two guys named Louis (Armstrong and Jordan), virtually the only vocalist to make it to the recording studio with the First Lady of Song.
Williams faced the dilemma inevitably encountered when one tries to capture Fitzgerald, the most widely and diversely recorded vocalist in all of jazz, within the confines of a single CD. With virtually every title, he would say admiringly, "Oh, that's a great song!" or "I love everything she did with Duke" or "Ella and [Louis] were the greatest together!"
Williams has had the opportunity no one else has had to study Fitzgerald's career. He remembers well when she burst on the scene with the big bands and he was in touch with her family on the day she died sixty years later. Rising young singers both (they were believed to have been born in the same year, 1918, until recently re-examined records established her birth date as a year earlier than Williams's), she with Chick Webb and he with clarinetist Jimmie Noone, they had become close friends by the end of the Thirties. His selections here are based not only on recordings that stand out in his memory, but on witnessing Fitzgerald sing the milestone songs of her career across the six decades that they knew each other. |
