Monday Music Mix- Volume 1!

Hey, so I'm thinking of starting a new thing here... my Monday Morning Mix. I'll do a new mix each week. Sometimes it will follow a theme, other times it will just be based on whatever mood I'm in or stuff I've been listening to recently. Sound cool? Alright then... for my first mix, I've just taken my most recently played songs/albums in my iTunes, so some of it might seem kind of random. I want to mention that the version of Ella Fitzgerald singing "Mack the Knife" (track #4 on the mix below) was the first time she ever performed that song live. You can find it on the album, Mack the Knife: Ella in Berlin, one of my favorite albums of all time. The album was recorded in 1960. I used to play it on my first radio show in college (a jazz show). Notice how she forgets the words in the middle and just starts making up lyrics... then she starts scatting and continues her amazingness through the end of the song, throwing in her best impersonation of good ol' Satchmo along the way. Enjoy!
