Overview Edit

All That Jazz was the last studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald.

All That Jazz eschewed a tendency by Fitzgerald in past decades to record popular and commercial songs of the day, and instead concentrated on jazz standards from the Swing era, a period which some fifty years earlier had seen her begin her career in music.

Fitzgerald's performance on this album won her the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Female, at the 33rd Grammy Awards. Fitzgerald also appeared on Quincy Jones Back on the Block, which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year at the same ceremony.

5 stars One of Ella's last recoerdings, and a great one at that!
I love this album. I think its Ella's second last album. The sound is perfect, punchy, smashing, and fully digital. Ella's voice is much, much older than what you hear from her in the 50s and 60s, but there is something magical about it. And the band is just stunning. I'm so glad she recorded music right until the end. My favorite track is Dream A Little Dream Of Me, but its all great.

2 stars An extra star for effort
Sad to say, this was the last CD of new material released in Ella's lifetime and it probably should have stayed in the can. Despite the best efforts of the players, Ella simply wasn't to up making this record, which is the only one she made after her open-heart surgery in 1986.

She's at her best on the scat features "When Your Lover Has Gone," "All That Jazz" and "Little Jazz" when she doesn't have to work so hard to deliver the lyrics. But the version of "The Jersey Bounce" is almost painful to…
