Ella Fitzgerald sings "Round Midnight".
Piano: Oscar Peterson
Bass: Ray Brown
Drums: Ed Thigpen
Composer: Thelonious Monk
(UK, 1961)
It begins to tell,
round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown.
Suppertime, I'm feeling sad;
but it really gets bad,
round midnight.
Memories always start round midnight.
Haven't got the heart
to stand those memories,
when my heart is still with you,
and old midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you, lately I find
you're out of my heart,
and I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings
round midnight, midnight.
Let the angels sing,
for your returning,
till our love is safe and sound
and old midnight comes around.
Feeling sad,
really gets bad
round midnight...

When I hear Ella sing I don't mind that I am 63 and time is flying. I was able to see her live and grew up with her music. I heard the angels sing.

@corychapin3932 3 года назад

Ella really was an OG at using melisma in her vocals but the reason she did it was because she wanted to emulate the instrumentation that was used in jazz and blues at the time, namely trumpets and saxophones. It’s a real testament to her vocal agility that she’s able to exactly replicate the way a saxophone would have performed those notes if the song was being played but not sung. She was a goddess

@tapir6727 8 лет назад

@anitacalloway3032 6 лет назад

Simply beautiful. And how in the world did she find that correct final note after going all over the scale?! Talent.

@Jerrytheman9 5 лет назад

she actually ended it on a C (the 9th), which is a tension in this key of Bb minor. Adding a little bit of flair.

The dictionary has not the right words to describe how deftly Ella caresses the notes. Kudos to the musicians too. They don't make such stuff anymore. This is exactly why Ella is my idol.

Perfect example of a vocalist, it's not just about having a beautiful instrument but you need to be creative and musical with that instrument as well. Ella nailed all of that with apparent ease.

Its also nice to see Oscar Peterson allowing space for Ella to operate. Undoubtably one of the greatest Jazz pianists that ever lived, but not always the most sensitive accompanist. This performance was a master class by the whole esemble.
