I think there is something to be said for two older people (who probably are the best jazz guitarist and jazz vocalist who ever lived) who just sit there quietly and make fireworks happen. Don't need backup dancers, pyrotechnics, just a few chords and some slick lyrics. WOW!!!!!
Well, there was Django, the very greatest jazz guitarist who ever lived, but, yeah, Joe Pass was very fine of another generation, and I entirely agree with the rest of your sentiments. Robert, uk (commenting 12 years on - good heavens, how time flies by!)
Unbelievable Vocals and guitar playing. It just does not get much better than this! A rare treasure that I am glad someone captured. Vocals like these are rare indeed!
Great song sublimely presented by Ella and Joe. The song has a beautiful American depression era flavour to it and is a little unusual compared with other standards at the time. Ella started in the 30's and by 1939 she was leading Chick Webbs band.
Thank you for this video. It's always good to see Ella and good old Joe. They were both legends. I wish Joe were still alive so he could profit on his youtube popularity. He was never this famous when he was alive. Amazing.
its like one of those songs u wished it played back when its friday night in christmas and u r alone in a bar drinking and thinking about her and everything that happened ...

I'm going to try to do this with a girl singer. Note that Joe's timing is rock solid. Man that guy can play chords. And Ella's singing is so bluesy, melancholic. Great stuff.
@filmcomposition I respectfully disagree with that. I'm with you that there were other incredible guitar contemporaries of Mr. Pass, and also some great ones who didn't get their due credit, but he DID forge an enduring style all his own. His modal methods of chordal melody established an entire school of jazz guitar. My teachers learned from him. He was uniquely brilliant in the way he conceived of and played standards
ENDLESS VOICING JOE HAD! I BOUGHT HIS IBANEZ SIGNATURE GUITAR HE IMPRESSED ME at a VERY YOUNG age WITH HIS TALENT. Took lessons from Ted Green just to get on that information road still at it lol
Superb version, of course. Look for the version by Jimmy Rushing with Zoot Sims and Al Cohn. He was a great singer of Jazz and Blues, and was with Count Basie for about 20 years. He really deserves to be remembered. It's a fine version an obviously different, probably recorded at the end of the 50's but could be in the 60's. Haley Reinhart makes a fine job of it today although the recordings are a bit rough being done on handheld recorders, maybe even mobile phones.
Love makes me treat you the way that I do Baby, ain't I good to you Nothing in this world too good for a girl so good and true Whoa, baby, ain't I good to you I bought you a fur coat for Christmas And a diamond ring, yes I did And a big Cadillac car, and everything What makes me treat you the way that I do It must be love baby That's why I'm so good to you I bought you a fur coat for Christmas And a diamond ring, And a great big Eldorado, and everything Gee, Baby ain't I good to you
Honestly, this is the most annoying opinion of music ever. If you think music plateaued decades ago, you're horribly wrong and need to break out of your cocoon. Look around because great music is being made every day, but it's rarely found in the mainstream.
![The songs most loved by Ella Fitzgerald [Jazz, Smooth Jazz]](/img/n.gif)
Omg her voice so powerful. She made it look so easy

U said what I always thought

No doubt in my mind this was done in one take! Beautiful. Thanks for this
I just so love this song. And Ella. And Joe.
my god, what a singer....what an amazing singer...what a remarkable guitar player....just perfection....thank you for posting.
JOEandEllla、Fantastic( ¨̮ )💕forever
The acoustics in that room are steller
Two Masters. Out of this world talent.
Ella is always on. Love the Ella & Louise duets.
Unbelievable Vocals and guitar playing. It just does not get much better than this! A rare treasure that I am glad someone captured. Vocals like these are rare indeed!
Best female voice ever!!!!
Epic!!
Joe and Ella, like Django and Stefan - unmatched!!!
Joe's guitar is sooo perfect for her voice. It's harmonically rich, yet so subtle and respectful of her voice.
It's a real talent to accompany a jazz improv great seamlessly. Must be hard
It just doesn't get any better than this!
This is still a banger
Joe Pass, soberbio en la guitarra. Genio.
this is glorious
What a voice, what a woman
Ella, tenía una voz maravillosa. Era Única.
Priceless. Best duo ever
Thank God for her prolific work that there are still so many gems to be discovered and loved. Ella was it.
We got to see them perform this in concert in 1983 ! Then we got to meet her after the show!
She was the absolute sweetest lady ever!!!
Lucky u
Great song sublimely presented by Ella and Joe. The song has a beautiful American depression era flavour to it and is a little unusual compared with other standards at the time. Ella started in the 30's and by 1939 she was leading Chick Webbs band.
Written circa 1930 by Don Redmond, who also wrote the earworm, Cherry.
What a pairing: Ella, Joe and a wonderful song by Don Redman and Andy Razaf. It really doesn't get more sublime than this!
What a great combination of two of the greatest musicians to grace our planet.
Thank you for this video. It's always good to see Ella and good old Joe. They were both legends.
I wish Joe were still alive so he could profit on his youtube popularity. He was never this famous when he was alive. Amazing.
Gold.
Joe & Ella - love them both apart, love them both together
One of the best ever. I'm still blown away by her old version of Blue Skys. The band could barely keep up once she started to scat.
its like one of those songs u wished it played back when its friday night in christmas and u r alone in a bar drinking and thinking about her and everything that happened ...
It's so wonderful ! What a beautiful voice !
Both are legends in their own right. Musicians like that don't come around very often -- kind fo like finding a needle in a haystack.
As good as it gets.
qué placer...... muchas gracias
IMHO_ Ella is one of the greatest.
Joe's comping is masterful.
❤❤
Qué puedo decir...Magnifico.Muchas gracias.
Sensational......
Damn, that is SOUL.
this voice the top ,Man woman or child Ella is the best.
Two departed legends.RIP.
wonderfull!
I love this song! The first time that I heard it Nnenna Freelon song it.
I'm going to play it again! Gee baby, ain't she good.
カッコいいです。ジョーパスおじさんの控えめギターが効いてます！
Such a star !!

As blue as it gets !
muy bueno、いつ見てもたまらない、
Absolutely agree with you.
I'm going to try to do this with a girl singer. Note that Joe's timing is rock solid. Man that guy can play chords. And Ella's singing is so bluesy, melancholic. Great stuff.

Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Baby, ain't I good to you
Nothing in this world too good for a girl so good and true
Whoa, baby, ain't I good to you
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring, yes I did
And a big Cadillac car, and everything
What makes me treat you the way that I do
It must be love baby
That's why I'm so good to you
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring,
And a great big Eldorado, and everything
Gee,
Baby ain't I good to you
don't take it back. let em have it!
does anyone have the sheetmusic of this version???
its not easy to find
It is in 'The New Real Book', A book every serious musician should have. I might have to buy a new copy soon as I'm close to wearing mine out.
i wish she was my grandma
I would have loved to hear Amy Winehouse belt this out
I wish she was my wife!
I don't want to live in this world anymore.
yeah, jus throw money at the problem why not?
eh?
I think by Pablo CD
@TheCoughlm it has to have happened
