Ella Fitzgerald • Sweet Georgia Brown • World of Jazz

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
In 1993, she ended her nearly 60-year career with her last public performance. Three years later, she died at the age of 79 after years of declining health. Her accolades included fourteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This exclusive recording was recorded at the AVRO TV Program 'Music All In' where Ella was accompanied by the famous Dutch orchestra 'Het Metropole Orkest' under the direction of Rogier van Otterloo, broadcast on 8 March 1974.
