Stella Sings Ella: A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald
Friday, 29 May 2026
About this event
Amassing 13 Grammy Awards & 40 million albums sales over a 60 year career, Ella could effortlessly cross over between sultry ballads, intricate jazz arrangements and light pop tunes, and could imitate any instrument of the orchestra.
Born in 1917, Ella worked with all the greats including Ellington, Basie, Gillespie, Armstrong (or perhaps we should say they worked with her!) and she packed out venues worldwide during her career, including Dublin’s Adelphi Theatre in 1964 and the Cork Jazz Festival in 1982.
Her greatest legacy is probably the Songbook Series, recorded between 1956 & 1981, considered a cornerstone of 20th century recorded popular music, representing some of the finest interpretations of the Great American Songbook.
