We All Love Ella - Celebrating The Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald

Verve Records has just released the tribute album We All Love Ella, an assemblage of stars honoring Ella Fitzgerald produced by Phil Ramone. The album is promoted as an expression of their love for Ella, as well as a celebration of the way Ella’s artistry and music has influenced their own careers.

Legendary producer Phil Ramone says, “There is something magical about doing the work of Ella Fitzgerald that gives you a tremendous painting to start with.”

The first jazz song Natalie Cole ever learned was the Fitzgerald hit “A Tisket A Tasket” which she practiced so she would sound exactly like Ella. Listen
