John Mauceri conductor
A celebration of jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie in the centenary year of their births. Conducted by Broadway musical and Hollywood movie-score legend John Mauceri, the concert contrasts Gershwin songs which played a key role in Fitzgerald's career with the bebop and Afro-Latin sounds in which Gillespie excelled. Mauceri is joined on the Royal Albert Hall stage by Grammy Award-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves who was described by the New York Times as 'the most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday', and by much-acclaimed Australian virtuoso trumpeter James Morrison.
The concert is introduced for 91热爆 World Service by broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill and American jazz specialist Geoffrey Smith.
