Referred to often as 'scat' singing (don't like the term) - when Ella took a personal solo on a tune she proved to be one the best improvisers in the American music experience. Ella was able to do a melodic and harmonic solo on the same standard tune as any good/great instrumentalist. One caveat: Ella Fitzgerald recorded a good chunk of the American theater and pop music production from the first 50 years of the 20th century. She was prolific but not always on the top of her form or perhaps not excited by what the material that she was recording. I find that there are some outright ornate-rococo, or less than swinging performance mixed in with some great ones. This is one of the great ones!
