Celebrate The Musical Legacy Of Ella Fitzgerald
Don't miss a chance to revel in and celebrate the Queen of Jazz's soaring legacy during A Celebration of Ella Fitzgerald, a special one-night-only concert at the McCallum Theatre this winter. Featuring the aural delights of R&B icon Patti Austin, comedian David Alan Grier, Grammy nominee Monica Mancini, The Voice contestant We McDonald and jazz songstress Brianna Thomas, the star-studded event comes directly from acclaimed performances at New York's Apollo Theatre.
Each of the celebrated performers are set to perform songs from different eras of the jazz icon's career, embodying her powerhouse vocal style in all of its sweet, silvery glory whilst interweaving tales and anecdotes from throughout her extraordinary life. Blessed with an impeccable intonation, distinctive sound and superb sense of timing, Ella spent six decades crafting out her own unique space in American musical history, leaving an indelible mark on jazz, R&B and pop in the many years since her passing in the early 90s.
