YouTube Video, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Count Basie Orchestra, Party Blues (from One O Clock Jump, Clef/Verve Records, 1957). Finally available on YouTube, Here is a prime example of Ella Fitzgeralds remarkable ability to Scat Sing, outshining Louis Armstrong; ably accompanied by Joe Williams and the Count Basie Orchestra. The Flip is Ellas rendition of April in Paris, in which The Count Basie Orchestra echoes its own memorable 1956 version, with Count Basie himself asking the Orchestra to play it One More Time. In the 1956 version, Count Basie did a Double Encore, asking to play it One More Once. https://youtube/watch?v=J4t0889H0W4
