The Year of Tony Bennett has been celebrating the centennial anniversary of the great Ella Fitzgerald, who was born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Virginia.

Instead, I want to share this recording of “How High The Moon” from her 1956 Lullabies of Birdland. This recording completely blows me away!
