Artist:Ella Fitzgerald
Song:Take The A Train
Album:Pure Ella
Ella Fitzgerald is probably the greatest singer in the history of jazz. She is the prototype for singer as musician. I like her best when she has the time to let loose and improvise. That is the case with her version of Billy Strayhorn's Take The A Train backed by Duke Ellington's band. They really work well together. It was originally on the 1957 recording Ella Sings The Duke Ellington Songbook. Pure Ella has all her biggest hits and is a very good introduction to her music.
