Ayumi sings to Ella Fitzgerald - How High the Moon.

I listened to this song over and over again until I could sing along to it. Here it is! Took me 4 years to learn the 7 minute scat.

  • Did you see the one Ella did in 1983 in Japan...? awesome she changed some things since the 1960 Berlin concert ....all versions are great and there is a version of her and Manhatten Transfer. from 83 on the Grammys

  • yaa! I saw the one she did in Japan '83. Wonderful!

    I haven't heard the one she did for Grammys.

  • thank you mr. meegan. are we related?

    mr sunwalker, there's a video of her singing the same song 20 or so years after the recording, some parts are exactly the same. of course off the cuff is the beauty of jazz, but it's hard to beat something that's already good.

  • u r sick girl

  • Very very very very very nice!

    To be sincere, I wasn't expecting such a good voice... But you pulled it off!

    I just love when my expectations are wrong, and I love you even more for making my expectations wrong.

    Thanks~

  • I guess I better quit while I'm AHEAD...;)

  • Nice. :)

  • Well done :) I also know this scat by heart! It does seem to go a bit to fast for you sometimes, as if you're struggling to keep up with the speed of it...maybe if you relax a bit more ("go with the flow," to use a horrible cliché), it'll sound even better :) But very nice!

  • I'm Slowly catching up to you, I've got 2 minutes almost done, just need to perfect some small parts, and I've been working on it for a few hours XD

  • I love seeing (and hearing) how you recreate that perfectly and have all the fun you can with it :D

    But 4 years to learn this? I guess that's how much it was needed... This has about one million notes after all XD

    I thought I was the only one listening to improvised scatting over and over and repeating it myself even though it should be always improvised

  • lol, awesome

  • YESS!!!

  • TOTALLY awesome!!!
