Saturday, when I was in the city, I got an album of Ella Fitzgerald's music. She had (recordings have) such a great voice.

A few weeks ago I heard some really cool music sung by Ella from the album "Ella at Duke's Place". One of the songs played on the radio - Cotton Tail - she does a great improvisation. There's a word for it, when someone singing doesn't sing real words: just "ba-di-do-di-bub-da-bi-doo", etc. I think that it either sounds really cool or bad if it isn't pulled off.

Anyhow, at the music place they had that album for a few dollars more than a compilation album. I'm not usually a fan of compilation / "the best of" albums. But this double CD got a lot more music for fewer dollars. So I go it - "Gold". It's great! She's got such a cool voice.
