About the Episode
Melly Victor of Stoopkid Stories joins us for the story of Ella Fitzgerald’s first performance at the famous Apollo Theatre. Learn about the history of the Apollo as well as a dramatic moment that almost didn’t happen. If it hadn’t, we may have never heard one of the most amazing voices in American Music.
Also, we talk about the history of tuning, how the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I also tried to standardize musical tuning, and how singers hurt their voices to keep up with instrumentalists raising the relative pitch.
