the songs of ella fitzgerald
Nina Ferro is one of the brightest stars of the international jazz scene. Her powerful, evocative voice, stunning vocal range and extraordinary stage presence have earned her an enviable reputation at home and around the world. Who better to pay tribute to The Queen of Jazz - the great Ella Fitzgerald!
When you hear Nina Ferro perform, should you not quite believe your ears, then put your faith in Tony Bennett’s immaculate taste. After she had supported him in concert, the great vocalist said of Nina Ferro: “She’s a fabulous performer with a knockout voice.”
But you don’t need Mr. Bennett’s highly discerning musical ear to realise he is right. Once she starts to sing, even if you can’t tell an octave from an octopus, you’ll know instantly that you are in the presence of a formidable talent. Just check your vital signs. Goosebumps? Check. Spine tingling? Absolutely. Emotions uplifted? You bet!
Lady Be Good is a joyous, swinging tribute to the First Lady of Song and the legends of The Great American Songbook she most loved to interpret - George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington.
Songs include How High The Moon, The Lady is a Tramp, Blue Skies, Love For Sale, It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Aint Got That Swing & Someone to Watch Over Me.
