LE SIÈCLE D’ELLA FITZGERALD

DISCOGRAPHIE

Ella Fitzgerald, Newport Jazz Festival, 1966
© Raymond Ross Archives/CTSIMAGES

La discographie d’Ella Fitzgerald, l’œuvre gravée dans la cire de cette artiste majeure, incite à l’humilité en raison de sa qualité artistique autant que de sa dimension (plus de 55 ans de carrière, des centaines de sessions d’enregistrements en leader), aussi pour sa complexité car ayant, comme les grands artistes du jazz, une carrière hors norme, on n’a jamais fini d’en découvrir de nouvelles traces et non des moindres, sans oublier les tournées ayant donné matière à des enregistrements plus ou moins officiels, malgré la vigilance de Norman Granz. La récente édition (nouveauté) des concerts parisiens d’Ella Fitzgerald du tournant des années 1960, chez Frémeaux, nous le rappelle.

Pour cette discographie, que nous souhaitons la plus complète possible (nous restons ouverts aux corrections, compléments d’informations, une discographie n’est jamais terminée), nous avons repris la méthode «Jazz Hot», pour sa lisibilité, c’est-à-dire que si nous tendons à l’indication de l’exhaustivité des titres où Ella Fitzgerald est présente, nous avons choisi de limiter les références discographiques à la référence originale (78t, 45t, LP 33t, CD) et à sa réédition la plus cohérente, en vinyles (LP) ou Compact Disc (CD), les plus facilement accessibles aujourd’hui. En 78t –en gros de 1935 à 1955, la période Decca– la référence originale se trouve sur la ligne de chaque titre, les autres références et supports (CD, LP, 45t) sont indiqués en gras en fin de chaque session.

Les sessions sont rangées par ordre chronologique. Il peut arriver qu’un même jour deux sessions aient été enregistrées, parfois avec des formations différentes; elles figurent donc sous la même date, sans interlignage, comme d’autres s’étalant sur plusieurs jours qui se suivent de près. Quand un enregistrement est indiqué sous plusieurs dates ou sur une durée, c’est que le détail n’en est pas donné.

La date est en gras, le titre du disque en gras-rouge, et le titre est repris sur la ligne de la référence pour un meilleur repérage compte tenu de l’abondance.

Les formations, parfois très étoffées, qui accompagnent Ella Fitzgerald, sont indiquées selon ce que nous avons pu réunir d’informations.

Enfin, et c’est ce qui caractérise notre travail –associant la lisibilité, le repérage et l’exactitude–, nous essayons de trouver le plus grand nombre de visuels originaux correspondant à cette production. Comme pour les références, les visuels sont innombrables, car Ella a été une excellente affaire pour l’édition phonographique au plan mondial, et les références comme les visuels sont innombrables.

Il n’y a rien à jeter dans cette splendide production, les temps relativement moins jazz par leur environnement d’orchestres à cordes (Song Books…) restant toujours très jazz par la grâce d’Ella, et indispensable à la compréhension de la cohérence de son œuvre, à l’histoire de la production, du jazz et le chemin très intelligent choisi, avec l’aide de Norman Granz, par Ella Fitzgerald, la Maria Callas du jazz, et la comparaison n’a rien d’une figure de style. Elles ont atteint toutes les deux un niveau d’expression d’une intensité, d’une vérité émotionnelle rares, assorti d’une virtuosité exceptionnelle totalement intégrée à leur expression, leur art, et cela explique le caractère populaire de leur œuvre, à tous les sens de cet adjectif.

La discographie est une autre manière de lire la vie d’un artiste et de découvrir des œuvres, à tout le moins de les redécouvrir d’un œil neuf, remises dans le contexte du parcours. Certains des enregistrements sont notés ici pour la première fois, et nul doute qu’il faudra encore compléter. Pour vous aider dans votre navigation et dans vos recherches de disques en boutique, nous avons dressé deux index, deux intégrales, en CD pour l’essentiel, l’un privilégiant les rééditions en coffrets (Périodes Decca, Song Books, Pablo), l’autre détaillant le disque à disque tel que paru à l’origine, pour une approche plus analytique de son œuvre. Enfin, des centaines de liens permettent d’écouter et surtout de voir et d’écouter Ella Fitzgerald en live: nous les avons également collectés, classés et organisés, et vous pouvez ainsi y accéder beaucoup plus facilement, à partir de ce dossier.
Bonne lecture et bonne écoute, et comme discographie, index et liens sont établis pour permettre une navigation plus aisée dans une œuvre océanique, bon voyage, car Ella Fitzgerald est une source de beauté inépuisable!

NB: Pour consulter les visuels de chaque disque (ou coffret), il faut cliquer sur la référence du disque en fin de chaque session, et le visuel apparaît dans une fenêtre supplémentaire qu’on peut déplacer, qu’on peut agrandir ou réduire légèrement en utilisant la fonction [cmd+ ou cmd-], ce qui agrandit en même temps la taille de votre fenêtre de navigation pour l’adapter à votre vue. Attention! On ne peut ouvrir qu’une image à la fois en plus de la page active de la discographie, et donc, il faut la refermer pour en ouvrir une autre en cliquant simplement sur l’image. Si l’image n’apparaît pas, c’est qu’une image est déjà ouverte, vous devez donc la faire apparaître au premier plan (menu fenêtre), puis la fermer avant d’en ouvrir une autre. La quasi totalité des visuels sont disponibles, et c’est ce qui fait toute la lisibilité et la simplicité de cette discographie, même pour des néophytes, et la rapidité de consultation pour tous. En dehors des liens repérables, la fonction recherche [cmd-f] permet de repérer rapidement un titre, un musicien ou une date, comme dans n’importe quel texte du site.

CD Ella Fitzgerald Live at Mister Kelly’s, Verve 0602517332157

Note: Mister Kelly’s était un établissement de nuit célèbre, sur Rush Street à Chicago, ouvert en tant que restaurant le 24 novembre 1953 par Pat Kelly, détenu et exploité par les frères Oscar et George Marinthal qui possédaient également à Chicago le London House. Il devint rapidement un night club. Jusqu’à sa fermeture, le 25 août 1975, il a vu se produire de nombreuses chanteuses, de jazz mais pas seulement (Ella Fitgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O’Day, Barbra Streisand, Eartha Kitt, Nancy Wilson…) et par ailleurs Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, et bien d’autres vedettes. Certains enregistrements, comme celui d’Ella Fitzgerald, témoignent de ces nuits. Il reste quelques titres inédits de cette soirée mémorable qui est en fait la dernière soirée d’un engagement de trois semaines pour Ella Fitzgerald dans ce même lieu.

Note: lors de ces sessions au Crescendo Club qui s’étendent du 11 mai au 21 mai 1961, de nombreux titres (la plupart) sont restés longtemps inédits et des bandes inédites sont dans des collections particulières conservées à la Library of Congress (cf. Ella Fitzgerald, an Annoted Discography by J. Wilfred Johnson, partiellement en ligne).

Le coffret suivant (4 CDs) reprend tout ou partie (il n’est pas possible de le savoir) de ces inédits (3 CDs) de cet engagement au Crescendo, et pour le 4^e CD une séance supplémentaire intitulée «Return to Hollywood» avec un quartet différent, enregistrée semble-t-il les 29-30 juin 1962 (cf. plus bas) dans ce même club.

A ce jour, nous ne disposons pas de ce coffret en édition limitée.

Par ailleurs, un titre, «A-Tisket, A-Tasket», enregistré le 12 mai semble avoir été édité (cf. W. Bruyninckx et J. W. Johnson), mais les références disponibles sont absentes ou semblent erronées. Il s’agit peut-être de la version qu’on retrouve sur le CD Ella Fitzgerald-Jukebox Ella: The Complete Verve Singles Vol.1, Verve 0044007605820, à l’origine édité en 45t et qui se trouve peut-être repris dans le coffret suivant de 4 CDs.

CD Ella Fitzgerald With the Tommy Flanagan Trio, LaserLight-LRC 17109 (= Laserlight-LRC 20025)

Note: La date, sans autre précision que l’année, et le contenu de ces deux CDs (identiques en contenu) ne semblent pas totalement cohérents. Il semble s’agir de deux concerts à Vienne en Autriche, à la Konzerthaus, enregistrés les 26 juin et 16 octobre 1969, et qui ont donné lieu à une publication sur internet précisant la date d’un premier concert (le 26 juin 1969) qu’il est possible d’écouter sur la toile sur https://www.mixcloud.com/sinlopez/ella-fitzgerald-the-tommy-flanagan-trio-1969-06-26-konzerthaus-vienna-austria/, et qui propose un contenu plus important semblant suivre le déroulement intégral du premier concert du 26 juin 1969 puis d’un second concert, toujours à la Konzerthaus de Vienne; ce dernier pourrait avoir été enregistré le 16 octobre 1969, sans certitude; il y a trois titres instrumentaux où Ella Fitzgerald ne chante pas, cf. le détail ci-dessous.

A signaler que le concert en ligne reprend en presque totalité les titres des deux CDs LRC/Laserlight, mais pas «A Man and a Woman», «People», «I Concentrate on You». C’est une autre incertitude de cet enregistrement.

Quatre titres avec le trio de Lou Levy (p), Max Bennett (b) et Gus Johnson (dm), présents sur les deux CDs Laserlignt-LRC, ne paraissent pas appartenir non plus à ces enregistrements en live, mais à une session datant de 1959 («I’m Beginning to See the Light», «My Heart Belongs to Daddy», «Just One of Those Things», «I Can’t Give You Anything But Love», cf. The Best of Jazz Singers, plus haut), sans doute insérés ici pour compléter le CDs. Nous ne les avons pas retenus dans la liste des titres enregistrés à cette date. Les recherches continuent…

Voici le détail des titres en ligne qui suivent le déroulement des concerts et qu’on peut écouter en ligne (très beau concert) avec une incertitude sur la date d’enregistrement de la seconde partie des titres. Cet enregistrement a été à l’origine effectué pour la radio.

Le livret du CD Ella Fitzgerald: The Reprise Years, Rhino 8122787832, date cet enregistrement de 1971 sans précision.

CD Ella Fitzgerald in Japan: JATP ’83, Enregistrement japonais inconnu**

Note: Ce concert du JATP au Japon, avec Ella Fitzgerald en vedette, a donné lieu à des enregistrements et une édition éclatés. Nous avons tenté de réunir l’ensemble des titres repérés de ce concert (une partie en quartet avec le trio de Paul Smith, 12 titres; une partie en duo avec Joe Pass, 8 titres; le dernier titre en all stars avec les autres musiciens du JATP). 4 titres en quartet sont, semble-t-il, sortis sur une édition japonaise dont nous ne disposons pas et dont nous n’avons pas la référence, juste un visuel et un relais par YouTube qui permet d’écouter les titres (c’est déjà bien).

CD RCA VICP 8084

Note: apparemment pour une musique de film; aucune précision.

Post Scriptum: Des enregistrements truqués, d’aujourd’hui, isolant la voix d’Ella Fitzgerald dans de précédents enregistrements pour y ajouter des accompagnements –orchestres ou voix–, sont en cours, comme le Ella With the London Symphony Orchestra, Someone to Watch Over Me (Universal) à paraître en cette fin d’année 2017. Il va de soi que nous ne tenons pas compte de ces OGM discographiques à but lucratif qui trahissent l’esprit même de la création artistique en privant l’artiste de la maîtrise et de son droit de regard sur son œuvre.
