Jazz Time. First Lady Jazz and Duke at the foot of Olympus
What if young Ella Fitzgerald would have won a jazz dance competition in Apollo and the Harlem Opera? Well, probably, she would have performed with the orchestra Duke in the Cotton Club - she would have shook, shook, dressed in what was considered a “African” fashion at that time. And that's it. Dot. We are in debt with sisters Edwards, the best young dancers of Harlem, who were supposed to dance in front of Ella.
