Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.

The Gershwin ballad material with Larkins is exquisite; Fitzgerald really digs into the lyrics, sometimes including rare verses, and Larkins provides thoughtful, alert jazz piano accompaniments. Although the frantic "Oh, Lady Be Good" is a jarring change of pace from the rest of the program, it features a spectacular episode of Fitzgerald's scatting.
