[Maureen]

This was a great read, not just Ella's life, but the history of Jazz in Harlem. Very well written with quotes and pictures. You get to read first hand what it was like for these amazingly dedicated talented musicians and singers and what they went through just to play music and sing their hearts out.

Very interesting

I knew very little about Ella Fitzgerald, and this was a good introduction! Interesting, very narrative-driven.
