Coinciding with EllaFitzgerald’s birthday on Saturday, Concord Jazz is releasing 'Ella 100: Live at the Apollo!'
on Friday . The tribute was recorded at the iconic Harlem, New York venue where the premier jazz vocalist got her start competing in its equally legendary Amateur Night talent show.
“I didn't want to bring out this person or that person to just sing a song associated with Ella,” says Field, who also collaborated with Apollo executives Kamila Forbes and Laura Greer. “I wanted to really tell Ella’s story and bring a dramatic element to it. What fans got that evening and will now hear on the album is a wide perspective on who Ella really was.”
Co-hosted by Austin and Grier, the concert takes off from there. Alternately accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra and an all-star quartet including Nathan East and Brian Nova, the aforementioned vocalists deliver aurally riveting performances that underscore why the expressive and vibrant Fitzgerald was nicknamed the “First Lady of Song.”
