Ella didn't sing only famous tunes by American composers like George Gershwin and Duke Ellington, she also lavished attention on their rarer gems. She has a teasing, dramatic flair on Gershwin's “They All Laughed”, and she scats with abandon throughout “Duke's Place”. Ella makes the most of every opportunity, as with a fiery 1949 live performance of “How High the Moon” alongside Charlie Parker.
