Ella Fitzgerald sings In a Mellow Tone

Since I've written about Ella Fitzgerald in connection with Marilyn Monroe and Nikki Yanofsky lately it's only timely to show a video clip with her. Here is Ella Fitzgerald singing "In a Mellow Tone" with the Oscar Peterson Trio.



I love that light and airy piano playing by Oscar Peterson and you can't but dig those bass lines played by Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (NHØP), which is one of my favorite jazz bass players.

The song, In a Mellow Tone, was written in 1940 by Duke Ellington.

What do you think of Ella Fitzgerald singing "In a Mellow Tone"? Tell me.
