Ella Fitzgerald tribute

Thirty years ago, the world said goodbye to a musical icon: Ella Fitzgerald, the first lady of song! Her voice was gold, her timing legendary, and her swing unrivaled. The FLJ Band, a fixture in the jazz scene, is collaborating with a string quartet for this tribute. This provides an extra symphonic edge. Together, they bring Ella’s best-known and most beloved songs back to life: from playful scat improvisations to immersive ballads. Each arrangement is carefully reworked into a musical journey along her impressive career. In addition, you will hear all kinds of anecdotes and short stories about her career, just like the stories behind her songs. This ‘Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald’ brings a warm, stylish, and haunting live show full of class, emotion, and virtuosity. From and with: Lisa Baert (vocals), Vlad Tolordava (trumpet), Alec Lagrange (tenor sax), Bernard Mestdagh (trombone), Quirijn Debosscher (violin), Cristina Torres Martinez (violin), Alberto Saldaña (viola), Jorge Orosa Lopez (cello), Elias D'hooge (piano), Robbe Desmet (double bass) and Jente Vanderrusten (drums).
