Ella Fitzgerald - A Life Through Jazz

Haskins, Jim
1991 (First Edition). New English Library , London, England

Often referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", Ella Fitzgerald was born in Virginia in 1917 to die in Beverly Hills California in 1996. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. This insightful book is as much about surviving racism as it is about her musical career.
