« Ella, elle l'a, Ce je n'sais quoi, Que d'autres n'ont pas, Qui nous met dans un drôle d'état… » chantait France Gall en 1987, en hommage à celle que le métier du jazz aux Etats-Unis a surnommé « The First Lady Of Song », la première dame de la chanson, et a récompensé de 13 Grammy Awards. Ella, aux côtés de Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, est considérée comme la plus grande chanteuse de jazz. Sa virtuosité, son swing, sa tessiture couvrant pas moins de trois octaves, son charisme, n’ont jamais été égalés. Certains considèrent même qu’elle a magnifié le scat au point que personne n’a pu, depuis, lui venir à la cheville. Ella Fitzgerald, auprès des Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, a porté l’art du jazz si haut qu’il ne peut, après elle, qu’être différent et partir dans une autre direction.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald naît le 25 avril 1917 à Newport News en Virginie. Elle grandit près de New York. Sa mère travaille dans une blanchisserie, son père ayant abandonné le domicile conjugal peu de temps après sa naissance. Elle rêve alors d'être danseuse.

Elle commence à chanter à 16 ans en 1934 au théâtre Apollo de Harlem à New York dans une des premières Amateurs Nights qu'elle remporte, contribuant autant à la gloire de l'Apollo qu'à la sienne. Elle est remarquée par l'orchestre de Chick Webb, qui l'engage et se produit au Savoy de Harlem. Elle enregistre quelques tubes avec lui, If You Can't Sing It, You'll Have to Swing It, Love and Kisses, mais c'est sa version de la berceuse A Tisket, a Tasket, titre qu’elle a elle même composé, qui la fit connaître. Quand Chick Webb meurt en 1939, l'orchestre continue sous le nom de « Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra ».

Elle commence une carrière solo en 1941. Au début, chanteuse de swing, elle aborde aussi le bebop. Sarah Vaughan est une de ses seules rivales dans ce domaine. Elle est la reine du scat, et elle joue et se joue du blues, de la samba, du gospel etc., et même des chants de Noël. Ses concerts sont souvent enrichis par des imitations d'autres chanteurs; elle imite en particulier à la perfection les voix et les gestes aussi bien de Rose Murphy que de Louis Armstrong. En 1942, elle apparaît dans le film du duo comique Abbott et Costello, Deux nigauds cow-boys, réalisé par Arthur Lubin.

Selon ses propres mots, c'est Marilyn Monroe qui lui apporte un grand soutien à sa carrière en l'imposant littéralement au Mocambo Club de Los Angeles. En effet, Marilyn, très grande admiratrice d'Ella Fitzgerald, téléphone en personne au patron du club et lui demande de programmer la chanteuse contre la promesse de réserver, chaque soir où elle se produirait, une table au premier rang. Ne pouvant refuser une telle publicité, le patron accepte et Marilyn tient parole.

Ella quitte Decca en 1955. La compagnie Verve est créée pour elle par son manager Norman Granz. C’est lui qui l’impose mondialement en lui faisant enregistrer des disques qui deviendront de très grands classiques du jazz, les fameux Song Books, dédiés aux grands compositeurs américains : George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerôme Kern, Rodgers & Hart, etc. Avec l'orchestre de Duke Ellington, elle fait des tournées en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Elle se produit en concert avec tous les plus importants groupes et solistes comme Oscar Peterson, Count Basie (On the Sunny Side of the Street), Roy Eldridge, Joe Pass (Speak Love), Dizzy Gillespie et le trio de Tommy Flanagan. Elle chante aussi avec d'autres voix du jazz comme Nat King Cole ou Frank Sinatra. Son rôle s’apparente à celui d’une « instrumentiste de la voix ».

Porgy and Bess est son enregistrement le plus connu, avec Louis Armstrong pour partenaire mais on leur doit également le célèbre Ella and Louis puis Ella and Louis Again, deux énormes succès. Ella apparaît avec Peggy Lee comme actrice et chanteuse dans le film de Jack Webb, Pete Kelly's Blues. Elle l’appercoit également dans les films Ride 'Em Cowboy, St. Louis Blues, et Let No Man Write My Epitaph. En tournées incessantes, son diabète la rend aveugle et conduit les médecins à l'amputer des deux jambes en 1993. Ella meurt d'une crise cardiaque le 15 juin 1996 à Beverly Hills, à l'âge de 79 ans.

Les amateurs retiennent ses improvisations extraordinaires qui ont fait dire à Charlie Parker : « Si Ella avait joué de saxophone, on se serait tous trouvé au chômage ». Retenons celle, en concert, sur Mack the Knife (extrait de L'Opéra de quat'sous) lors d'un concert à Berlin en 1960, morceau au cours duquel elle a eu un trou de mémoire et qu'elle poursuit sans hésitation en alternant scat et paroles improvisées, ou encore, son extraordinaire version de Mr Paganini ou How High the Moon. Une autre de ses improvisations fameuses a lieu au cours d'un concert à Antibes / Juan-les-Pins à l'été 1964, alors qu'elle se produit dans la Pinède Gould à l'occasion du Festival Jazz à Juan, quand elle rend hommage aux cigales qui y chantent (The Cricket Song). Ella Fitzgerald demeure au Panthéon de tout amateur de jazz vocal, elle est tout simplement, prodigieuse.

============================================================

"Ella, she has it, This I don't know what, That others don't have, Which puts us in a strange state ..." sang France Gall in 1987, in homage to the one that the jazz profession in the United States nicknamed "The First Lady Of Song", the first lady of the song, and awarded 13 Grammy Awards. Ella, alongside Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, is considered the greatest singer in jazz. His virtuosity, his swing, his range covering no less than three octaves, his charisma, have never been equaled. Some even consider that she magnified scat to the point that no one has been able to come close to her ankle since. Ella Fitzgerald, with the Louis Armstrongs, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, carried the art of jazz so high that it can only be different after her and go in another direction.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald was born April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Virginia. She grew up near New York. Her mother works in a laundry, her father having abandoned the marital home shortly after her birth. She then dreams of being a dancer.

She began singing at the age of 16 in 1934 at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York in one of the first Amateurs Nights she won, contributing as much to the glory of the Apollo as to her own. She was noticed by Chick Webb's orchestra, who hired her and performed at the Savoy in Harlem. She records a few hits with him, If You Can't Sing It, You'll Have to Swing It, Love and Kisses, but it's her version of the lullaby A Tisket, a Tasket, a track she wrote herself. , who made her known. When Chick Webb died in 1939, the orchestra continued under the name "Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra".

She began a solo career in 1941. At first, a swing singer, she also tackled bebop. Sarah Vaughan is one of her only rivals in this area. She is the queen of scat, and she plays and plays blues, samba, gospel etc., and even Christmas carols. His concerts are often enriched by imitations of other singers; in particular, she perfectly imitates the voices and gestures of both Rose Murphy and Louis Armstrong. In 1942, she appeared in the film by comedy duo Abbott and Costello, Deux nigauds cow-boys, directed by Arthur Lubin.

In her own words, it is Marilyn Monroe who gives her great support in her career by literally imposing her at the Mocambo Club in Los Angeles. Indeed, Marilyn, a great admirer of Ella Fitzgerald, telephones the club boss in person and asks him to schedule the singer against the promise to reserve a table in the front row every night she performs. Unable to refuse such advertising, the boss accepts and Marilyn keeps her word.

Ella left Decca in 1955. The company Verve was created for her by her manager Norman Granz. It was he who imposed it worldwide by making him record records that would become very great jazz classics, the famous Song Books, dedicated to the great American composers: George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerôme Kern, Rodgers & Hart, etc. With the Duke Ellington Orchestra, she toured Europe and North America. She performs in concert with all the most important groups and soloists like Oscar Peterson, Count Basie (On the Sunny Side of the Street), Roy Eldridge, Joe Pass (Speak Love), Dizzy Gillespie and the Tommy Flanagan trio. She also sings with other jazz voices like Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra. Her role is akin to that of a "vocal instrumentalist".

Porgy and Bess is his most famous recording, with Louis Armstrong for partner but we also owe them the famous Ella and Louis then Ella and Louis Again, two huge successes. Ella appears with Peggy Lee as an actress and singer in Jack Webb's film Pete Kelly's Blues. She also sees it in the films Ride 'Em Cowboy, St. Louis Blues, and Let No Man Write My Epitaph. On incessant tours, her diabetes blinded her and led doctors to amputate both her legs in 1993. Ella died of a heart attack on June 15, 1996 in Beverly Hills, at the age of 79.

Amateurs retain his extraordinary improvisations which made Charlie Parker say: "If Ella had played the saxophone, we would all have been unemployed". Let us remember the one, in concert, on Mack the Knife (extract from The Quart's Opera) during a concert in Berlin in 1960, a piece during which she had a blackout and which she continues without hesitation in alternating scat and improvised lyrics, or even his extraordinary version of Mr Paganini or How High the Moon. Another of her famous improvisations took place during a concert in Antibes / Juan-les-Pins in the summer of 1964, when she performed in the Pinède Gould on the occasion of the Jazz Festival in Juan, when she pays homage to the cicadas singing there (The Cricket Song). Ella Fitzgerald remains in the Hall of Fame of any vocal jazz lover, she is quite simply, prodigious.
