Merci beaucoup, I haven’t heard of Vianney before and this song is excellent and the video is very clever. Ella was wonderful though I found the backing music a little discordant at times ( sorry, not a jazz fan). She could have sung that a capella I think. As for Summertime, she makes it her own.
I’ve had the pleasure of some of your musical taste in the past, great choices.
Hugs.
Terrific.

Ella – sublime. The finest female vocalist I’ve ever heard. *nods*. The song is a particular favourite too.
