Ella Fitzgerald is one of the most defining voices of jazz ever. Her pure tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and „horn-like“ improvisational ability, especially in her scat singing, remain unmatched to this day. Her outstanding recordings include, above all, her songbooks of the most important American composers of the first half of the 20th century, to whom she set monuments and left textbooks for all subsequent singers on how to interpret the respective songs perfectly
