I heard someone on the radio saying her 100th birthday is coming up earlier and couldn't get this one out of my head for some reason.

Lizz Wright's tour is gonna be a tribute to Ella's 100th birthday, and there's been several tribute gigs in DC. I've been listening to her theatrical take on Bacharach & David's (kinda sexist) "Wives & Lovers"

holy shit

As usual, the Night Lights radio series comes up with an astute profile, delving and sweeping through the decades----I really wanna get the whole Porgy and Bess with Armstrong, the Gershwin songbook, and more like "Stompin' At The Savoy" (those live albums, yow)--stream/download here: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/ella-57-ella-fitzgerald-flies-high/

Clap Hands Here comes Charlie is such a beautiful album, damn! I absolutely love it right now.

WBGO is playing a bunch of stuff from the live Ella at Zardi's, released last year after sitting in the vaults for sixty some odd years. Incredible stuff.

thanks for the heads up, sounds great
