Essential Ella: A Tribute to the First Lady of Song

Effortlessly swinging, richly expressive, and full of charm—few voices in jazz history are as unmistakable as Ella Fitzgerald’s. Essential Ella: A Tribute to the First Lady of Song honors her enduring legacy, with vocalist Nicoya Baker and the Graeme Francis Quartet performing beloved standards from Ella’s extensive repertoire. Featuring “How High the Moon”, “All of Me”, and “Black Coffee”, this special tribute brings new life to these classics in the very room where Ella recorded “Live From the Tower Theatre” almost a half-century ago.

Our kitchen and bar will be open, so bring your appetite—the food's as good as the music.

See you at the show!
