Tempo di furore
Improvisation
Ella Jane Fitzgerald, nota come Ella Fitzgerald (Newport News, 25 aprile 1917 – Beverly Hills, 15 giugno 1996) è stata una cantante statunitense. È considerata una delle migliori e più influenti cantanti jazz della storia. Vincitrice di 14 Grammy, era dotata di un potente strumento vocale, vantando un'estensione di più di tre ottave. Ella Fitzgerald è stata attiva per 59 anni vendendo circa 40 milioni di copie della sua settantina di album. Esibiva spesso la sua grande capacità di improvvisazione soprattutto nello scat, una tecnica vocale tipica del jazz di cui è considerata la maggiore esponente di tutti i tempi: i suoi virtuosismi potevano durare oltre i cinque minuti, pur mantenendo una perfetta impronta melodica. Nell'ultima parte della sua carriera artistica, nei suoi concerti si divertiva sovente a imitare le voci di altri cantanti: particolarmente riuscite erano le imitazioni di Rose Murphy, Dinah Washington, Della Reese e Louis Armstrong.
