Ella Fitzgerald : Santa Claus Got Stuck in My Chimney [ purchase ] All week long, the picture above has been sitting on the sidebar, and you probably never suspected that anyone had a song for it. In fact, not just anyone, but the great Ella Fitzgerald herself. The song had acquired legendary status at one time. Fitzgerald sings it with the innocence of a child, but someone in record company land had a filthy mind, and decided the song was too risqué to release. In fact, it only came out [...]

Georgia On My Mind is most commonly associated with Ray Charles. It appears on every tribute album to Ray, and Willie Nelson (who recorded the song in 1978) sang it at his funeral. But Georgia was a standard long before Ray Charles made it his own. It was written by Hoagy Carmichael and lyricist Stuart Gorrell in 1930. The story goers that the Georgia of the title was originally intended to refer to Hoagy's sister, but realising that Gorell's words could apply also to the southern US state, the writers were happy to keep things ambiguous. The plan [...]
Zara McFarlane - Until Tomorrow Brownswood Recordings: 2011 We'll get the obvious out of the way right off the bat. Zara McFarlane's Until Tomorrow is a deliberately retro exercise in jazz vocals, and an remarkably well-executed one at that. Externally, the album art nods not-so-subtly to late-50's Ella Fitzgerald, so it's quite fitting that the opening jazz ballad, "More Than Mine" dates right back to that era as well. However, it's not merely McFarlane's ability to recall her predecessors with striking accuracy that gives Until Tomorrow its backbone, but it's [...]

Amy Winehouse Releases New "The Girl From Ipanema" Cover
Nov 29, 2011, 4:05pm
Cover Me
Cover MeA few weeks ago, we posted Amy Winehouse's reggae cover of "Our Love Will Come." It came off her upcoming rarities comp Lioness: Hidden Treasures and now we have another taste. She covers the bossa nova standard "The Girl from Ipanema" in such imitable Winehouse style that you'll mourn her all over again. The song has been sung by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Ella Fitzgerald, so, yeah, a logical choice for Winehouse. It's the first time she's covered it, true, but not the first time she's used it: she sampled the Astrud Gilberto disco version in her song "Cherry." [...]

Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass: Easy Living

PopMatters
PopMattersThis re-issue reminds us of how great Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass truly were when they decided to combine powers. Ella Fitzgerald may very well have owned the greatest female singing voice American music has ever seen. And that's not an over-statement. Forget about the fact that it had range that included a remarkable three octaves. Think of its style, its heart. One listen to any of her countless performances, live or studio, will immediately wash away all thought of other female vocalists who ever claimed to have soul, virtuosity, honesty or tone. Ella's voice...
