How Ella Fitzgerald Turned Forgotten Lyrics Into One Of Her Best Performances Ever

Most people who don’t know jazz can probably recognize the name of one of the genre’s best singers: Ella Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is one of the eight women at the center of this season of NPR Music’s Turning the Tables, and she’s arguably one of the most important vocalists not just in jazz but in the entire history of American music. With an exceptional vocal style, supreme technical capabilities and a spirited energy, she was “The First Lady of Song.”

By 1960, Fitzgerald had become a global sensation. That February she gave an unforgettable performance in West Berlin for an audience of thousands. On the set list was “Mack The Knife,” a huge hit first made popular by Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong. Fitzgerald sang the song flawlessly until about halfway through, when she forgot the lyrics. But she didn’t stumble — instead, she playfully free-styled her way to the end with nonsense syllables and improvised words — the singular jazz style called scatting. This unforgettable and Grammy Award-winning performance demonstrated her masterful grace under pressure.

Later in the set, Fitzgerald showed off her scat skills again in her interpretation of “How High The Moon.” Considered to be one of the best scat solos ever recorded, it demonstrates her sharp vocal control, perfect intonation and rhythmic acumen. Besides its musical excellence, the performance also revealed her ironic sense of humor and gift for “quoting,” or referencing other songs while improvising. Jazz critic Will Friedwald says Fitzgerald was the all-time master of quoting. He remembers he once “went through the song bar by bar and pulled out 50 songs that she quoted in, like, five minutes. Just incredible the way her mind works!”

While her musicianship was legendary, what may be most important is the legacy she’s left for the vocalists who followed. Before Fitzgerald, singers weren’t considered musicians the same way instrumentalists were; at that time, “the only requirement for a vocalist was to sing the lyrics,” says singer Charenee Wade. But Fitzgerald proved that singers were capable of the same level of artistry as any other member of the band. Wade continues, “I’m just thankful that she did that for us. She created a pathway for vocalists to be a part of what I consider to be all the fun.”

COAST - Skim - fusion jazz from Sydney

Art As Catharsis is proud to announce the release of COAST’s second album, SKIM – a polyrhythmic record of expansive jazz, pushing the band into new, adventurous territory. Taking inspiration from mixtapes pieced together by Minimal Miggy, Godtet, Mecca 83 and more, Coast note that Skim attempts to emulate a love for grazing music interaction – a love that becomes more and more evident as the record progresses. Beyond that, drummer and composer for COAST Paul Derricott has spent the past 12 months sharing stages with Charenee Wade, Vivian Sessoms and Aloe Blacc – their influence being critical to the writing process. As a follow-up to a fantastic, energetic and technically astounding album, Skim does more than continue Coast’s trend of bringing to life some of Australia’s finest, most intricately textured progressive jazz. Skim represents a successful exploration into new compositional heights for Coast, proving that lightning can indeed strike twice in the same place. For anyone with an ear for instrumental music, complex and engaging drumming and beautiful saxophone-driven textures, this album will surely be a darling of the critics. Paul Derricott: Drums, Composer Shannon Stitt: Rhodes, Moog Prophet Michael Avgenicos: Saxophone Peter Koopman: Guitar Phillippa Murphy-Haste: Bass Clarinet, Clarinet Jacob Parks: Trombone Kim Lawson: Clarinet

Shuffle

just hit the button ev'ry day's a diff'rent tune with a diff'rent feel

Hanneman at first-- over to Charenee Wade ...that sounds about right

sometimes it makes sense to just hit the DELETE key, start over again.

USA: International Women in Jazz Go Fund Me Campaign

International Women in Jazz Go Fund Me Campaign

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN JAZZ, INC. (IWJ) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to supporting women jazz artists and related professionals by increasing awareness of the diverse contributions women make to jazz worldwide. Through our programs, IWJ provides opportunities for emerging and experienced talent to be recognized by their peers, the public and larger jazz community. Our member network creates a forum to share and learn from one another, promote one’s work and receive timely information and assistance. We are a unique organization with a profound history of event-driven recognition activities positively impacting the jazz community’s young and old. We stand dedicated to actively ensuring a place for women as a vital part of jazz’s past, present and future. To learn more about IWJ’s history, please visit our website: www.internationalwomeninjazz.org and click on the tab About IWJ. Why are we asking for your help? This year our preeminent Annual IWJ Festival was sidelined for the first time due to escalating costs and a decline in funding from limited grant offerings and corporate sponsorships. Facing shrinking financial resources, it was not possible for us to deliver this signature annual event. In 2018, our total revenue for this wonderful event dropped by 60% from the previous year, primarily due to external funding resources. Therefore, we are setting a 2020 Annual Festival fundraising goal of $10,000. Why is the IWJ Festival annual event so important? Every year our intergenerational audience continues to increase as we recognize, honor and celebrate one or more women who have made a significant contribution to the jazz community. Our headliners, member musician and youth performances illustrate the powerful connection between our wonderful jazz legacy and those who continue to innovate and carry it forward. Our event includes jam sessions, table talks, networking, educational components and seminars, and vendor representation. Our Annual Festival is more than an event…it is an inspiring experience for our wonderfully talented, aspiring female artists and Youth in Action participants, for those on stage and in the audience! Here are just some examples of our past youth award recipients: • Leonieke Scheuble, dedicated her CD titled “Debut” to IWJ by acknowledging her achievement as the 2013 International Women in Jazz Youth in Action Award Winner. Today, Leonieke is leading her own band. • Wé McDonald, our 2016 Youth in Action award winner went on to win second runner up on the 11th season of The Voice. • Camille Thurman, our 2009 Youth in Jazz award winner, is known today as a composer, instrumentalist, vocalist and interpreter of the jazz tradition; and, • Charenee Wade – singer, composer, arranger and educator - and winner of the 1st IWJ Youth-in-Jazz Award returned twenty years later to headline our 2018 Festival.

Please see our Galleries page at www.internationalwomeninjazz.org. Our annual festival has been one of our core membership offerings. It allows us to bring jazz music to the community – young and old – on the largest scale possible. Imagine the sadness and disbelief our members and supporters experienced when hearing our major performance platform had been sidelined. Will this impact the future of IWJ? We want you to know that although we are facing some current financial headwinds our spirit is alive and well. To keep us current and in the mix, we have been utilizing our funds for smaller scale events at local community venues that feature open mic sessions creating opportunities for our members, supporters and the general public. We continue to disseminate information and promote our member’s events and achievements through direct email and our social media sites. We rely on the generous help of volunteers to enhance our website, social media and other services as we better identify the needs and interests of our members. And we continue to explore additional financial resources as they become available to fund our existing offerings and create new possibilities. Why your contribution is so important? We need to continue to support, educate and nurture our young artists and offer jazz appreciation for all ages as part of our mission and tradition. The IWJ Festival epitomizes the heart and soul of our existence. Our love for jazz and commitment to its future is profound – that is why we are appealing to you for your contributions. We cannot just rely on the revenue we receive from membership dues, local events and limited grant monies alone. Our appeal is to our membership and supporters, domestic and international musicians, youth jazz students, composers, and jazz enthusiasts…music schools, educators, foundations, music venues, record labels, recording industry artists, broadcast professionals, business owners, music management professionals, other like organizations and individuals just like you. Please help us bring back our Annual International Women in Jazz Festival for Jazz Appreciation Month, April 2020. IWJ is planning now to secure venues, musicians, etc. to continue our efforts to showcase Jazz as an American art form, and to honor, recognize and support women artists who keep it legendary and current. On behalf of our dedicated members, board of directors and as president of IWJ, thank you in advance for your tax-deductible contribution in any amount. Let’s continue the music together!
