エラ・フィッツジェラルド

1918年4月25日バージニア州ニューポート・ニュース生れ。34年チック・ウェッブ楽団の専属歌手となり、38年のヒット作で一躍スターとなった。46年からJATPに参加。55年の春、20年に渡るDeccaとその契約が切れ、Verveに移り、そこで作曲家シリーズのソング・ブックが好評を博した。ダウンビート誌の人気投票では52〜71年まで連続1位に輝いている。72年末頃には内障眼のために失明が懸念され、再帰が危ぶまれたが、73年夏のジャズ祭で元気な姿を見せた。その後、旧友ノーマン・グランツの元にあって活躍、健在ぶりを示す。86年から引退生活に入り、93年に糖尿病の合併症のため両足の切断手術を受ける。1996年6月15日カリフォルニア州ビバリ-ヒルズの自宅で逝去。

Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, Vol.2

1曲目の"I Love Paris"からエラの美声に酔いしれてしまいます。ポーターの楽曲は、意外なことに殆どの曲を作曲だけでなく作詞まで手がけているのです。道理で、歌詞とメロディーが実に見事に一体化しているはずです。10曲目の"It's De-Lovely"では、"It's delightful, It's delicious, It's de-lovely"というちょっと韻を踏んだ感じの歌詞が出てきます。青木啓さんの日本語ライナーによれば、ミュージカル「レッド、ホット・アンド・ブルー！」でエセル・アーマンがボブ・ホープと歌ったナンバーとありました。2枚のCDを通じて"You'd be so nice to come home to"が出てきませんが、こちらはジュアンレパンでのライブ盤にあります（未聴です）。

Ella In Berlin (1960)

コンサート会場は、ベルリンのドイッチュランド・ホールという大会場で、1万2千人の観客を前にして歌った模様が収録されている。とりわけ、『三文オペラ』からの楽曲「マック・ザ・ナイフ」が評判を呼んだ。この曲は、作曲したクルト・ワイルがドイツ出身ということで、ベルリンのファンに向けてのサービスとして歌われたが、ここで熱烈な拍手を得たため、その後もエラの重要なレパートリーとなった。後半では歌詞が大胆にフェイクされ、エラが敬愛するボビー・ダーリンやルイ・アームストロングの名前も登場する。(Wikipedia)
