A stunning tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, one of the most popular female jazz singers of all time, from The New York Times bestselling and award-winning duo Andrea David Pinkney and Brian Pinkey.

Audiences are taken on a journey through four tracks of Ella Fitzgerald's life, from the streets of Yonkers where she performed as a child to the stage of the Apollo Theater where her singing career began. From there, the story details how Ella became the star attraction with the Chick Webb Orchestra and how she and Dizzy Gillespie headline a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. Ella's rich voice and vocal innovations brought her fame and a remarkable career that spanned half a century and won her generations of fans around the world.In this fantastical jazz biography, audiences will experience the life of a vocal virtuosa who has gone down in history as the First Lady of Song.
