DonRocks Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Singing "Give Me the Simple Life". Here's Ella Fitzgerald singing it *much* faster - Fitzgerald's recording is 1:43 of singing; Christy's is 2:04. Christy had - for this piece at least - a much more unadorned, straightforward, "cooler jazz" style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 The June Christy recording is from her LP "Gone for the Day", 1957. Ella Fitzgerald at Montreux in 1969 was accompanied by the Tommy Flanagan Trio. I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing Ella with the Tommy Flanagan Trio live at Symphony Hall in Boston in (I think) 1972, maybe 1973, on a triple bill with Herbie Mann's group (meh) and the Oscar Peterson Trio. Quite an evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
