The Amazing Keystone Big Band « We Love Ella »

"The amazing thing is the fantastic quality of The Amazing Keystone Big Band. The orchestral masses, the writing, the scale, give this music an unprecedented dimension". And who better to celebrate jazz than Ella Fitzgerald? The great lady, always spontaneous and joyful, is one of the most outstanding voices of the 20th century. The tribute paid to her today is embodied by Celia Kameni. The young singer, like Ella in her time, steals the show from the orchestra and knows how to keep the legacy of the "First Lady of Swing" alive.
