A brand new Ella Fitzgerald show for this season, Ella & Friends, from the Concertante. Misty, one of my all-time favourite tracks, is in there, as are classics like Dream a Little Dream, Cheek to Cheek, and April in Paris.
True to form, there are some really interesting new versions with super crunchy harmonies and textures from David Gordon, Ali Vennart and others, including a stunning (if slightly fiendish!) new instrumental arrangement of Dave Brubeck's Take Five, which I absolutely love!
We start in Manchester tonight, then touring through 1st November (ticket links below). Enjoy!
