Αφιέρωμα στην Ella

Η πιο σημαντική γυναικεία φωνή της αμερικάνικης jazz μουσικής, η Ella Fitzgerald, για πάνω από 50 χρόνια, πρωταγωνιστούσε στην αμερικάνικη αλλά και την παγκόσμια μουσική σκηνή. Με δεκάδες τιμητικές διακρίσεις, εκατοντάδες συναυλίες σε όλο τον κόσμο, αλλά και πάνω από 200 δίσκους έχει περάσει στο πάνθεον της παγκόσμιας μουσικής.

Γεννημένη στο Newport News τηςVirginia το 1917, από μικρή ηλικία ασχολήθηκε με το τραγούδι, με την αμέριστη συμπαράσταση της μητέρας της. Η μετακόμιση της οικογένειας στη Νέα Υόρκη αλλά και η γνωριμία της στα μέσα της δεκαετίας το '30 με τον μουσικό και ντράμερ Chick Webb που είχε δικιά του μπάντα, ήταν το πρώτο της επαγγελματικό βήμα. Την πενταετία 1934 -1939 η μπάντα ήταν ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλής και μάλιστα μετά τον θάνατο του Chick Webb, η Ella έγινε αρχηγός της.

Το 1942 αποφασίζει να ακολουθήσει σόλο καριέρα και η γνωριμία της με τον Norman Granz, που είχε ιδρύσει την Verve Records, άλλαξε ριζικά την καριέρα της.

Οι σπουδαίες συνεργασίες της με πολύ σημαντικά ονόματα της jazz μουσικής, όπως οι: Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Oscar Peterson, Ben Webster, Lester Young και Louis Armstrong, αλλά πάνω απ΄όλα η «θεϊκή» φωνή της, την έφεραν γρήγορα στην κορυφή.

Μετά τα χρόνια στην Decca και την Verve, η δισκογραφική εταιρεία MGM που στο μεταξύ είχε εξαγοράσει την Verve, απέτυχε να ανανεώσει το συμβόλαιο της Ella με αποτέλεσμα η ερμηνεύτρια να κυκλοφορήσει τους επόμενους δίσκους της με άλλες εταιρείες , όπως η Capitol και η Atlantic.

Αυτά όλα μέχρι το 1972 όπου βρίσκει μόνιμη στέγη στην Pablo που ίδρυσε ο παραγωγός της Norman Granz και κυκλοφορεί περίπου 20 άλμπουμ μέχρι το θάνατό της.

Παρόλα τα προβλήματα υγείας που αντιμετώπιζε από τον σακχαρώδη διαβήτη, η Ella, παρέμεινε στις επάλξεις μέχρι το τέλος με εντυπωσιακές συνεργασίες με μεγάλους μουσικούς της jazz (Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson) αλλά και ζωντανές εμφανίσεις σαν special guest σε συναυλίες αλλά και τηλεοπτικά προγράμματα

Την 15 Ιουνίου 1996 πέθανε στο σπίτι της σε ηλικία 79 ετών
