Abstract

Elaine Delmar, a renowned singer, shares how the album "Ella Sings Gershwin" by Ella Fitzgerald with Ellis Larkins had a significant impact on her musical journey. Delmar's father, a jazz trumpeter, gave her the album when she was 15, sparking her interest in singing. She had been focused on piano and classical music but started taking singing more seriously after receiving the album. Delmar also discusses her early experiences performing with her father's band and the valuable lessons she learned from those experiences. The article highlights the importance of the album in Delmar's development as a musician and her admiration for Ella Fitzgerald's singing style. [Extracted from the article]
