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.
