The Ella Fitzgerald Companion is a celebration of the woman who is
arguably musical history's greatest singer of popular. An
international superstar of jazz and popular music, Fitzgerald
boasted astounding versatility and sophistication that covered the
entire musical spectrum, and her combination of incredible vocal
flexibility, precise diction and articulation, accurate improvising
skills, and a huge repertoire remains unmatched. This guide to her
sixty-year career-including her recordings, her important
influences, and her collaborators-offers an overview of the
evolution of American popular singing in the twentieth century
through the lens of its greatest interpreter. Interspersed
throughout the text are over eighty transcribed examples of
recorded performances by Fitzgerald and a number of her influences,
illuminating her genius in an unprecedented way. With accompanying
discussions in both descriptive and musical language, this unique
collection of transcriptions is accessible to musicians and
non-musicians alike. Concluding the volume is a comprehensive
discography of all the important Fitzgerald albums that have been
re-issued to date on compact disc, offering the reader a practical
way to become acquainted with one of the twentieth century's true
musical pioneers.
