Happy 100th birthday, Ella Fitzgerald! To mark this momentous occasion, we’re celebrating “The First Lady of Song”—and her frequent collaborator, jazz great Louis Armstrong—with a swinging lineup of both their biggest solo and combined hits. We’ll cover chart-toppers like It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing), Sweet Georgia Brown, A Tisket A Tasket, What a Wonderful World, and many more, along with our guest artists, the audience-dazzling master pops jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling and actress and R&B singing sensation Marva Hicks.
