This recording is from June 22, 1969 where Ella Fitzgerald performs One Note Samba with Ed Thigpen on drums, Frank de la Rosa on bass, and Tommy Flanagan on piano. I am happy that our little Ella shares her name with this amazing woman! (They almost shared the same birthday as well, they’re off by only 4 days)
(via Brain Pickings)
we’ve named our daughter after this most amazing and powerfully creative woman. and at nearly 10 months nearly all her speech sounds like scatting to me. ;)
