Ella Fitzgerald is considered to this very day to be the ‘First Lady Of Swing‘ - a title she truly deserves. During a career which spanned almost six decades she worked with the greatest stars in jazz music - Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, they all profited from her vocal expertise. Ella Fitzgerald‘s concerts were guaranteed sell-outs and she filled the most exclusive of clubs as well as the largest halls in Las Vegas. |
