ELLA FITZGERALD


 

  • In 1942 she signed a record contract with Decca Records, the biggest record label for jazz and pop music
  • When swing jazz began to lose it's popularity, Ella began singing a new style of jazz called bebop.
  • Bebop jazz was faster and more complicated and used more solists and improvisation.
  • Ella became friends with a popular bebop trumpet player named Dizzy Gillespie.
  • He taught her how to scat sing in the style of bebop and they became very close friends.
  • Dizzy's band had a great brass section. This section includes two instruments the trumpet  and the trombone.
