[The Jazz Estate @thejazzestate]

Remembering the great Ella Fitzgerald who was born on this day in 1917. Sometimes referred to as the “First Lady of Song” and “Queen of Jazz”, she was known for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation and a “horn-like” improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.

As a child, Fitzgerald wanted to be a dancer, but when she panicked at an amateur contest in 1934 at New York City’s Apollo Theatre and sang in a style influenced by the jazz vocalist Connee Boswell instead, she won first prize.

During her long career Fitzgerald recorded more than 100 albums of several kinds of music. In addition to winning many Grammy awards for her recordings, Fitzgerald was honored with lifetime achievement awards by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Here, she is performing performing "Satin Doll" live at the Antibes Juan-les-Pins Jazz Festival in 1966.
