Echoes of Ella

Title: Echoes of Ella
Medium: Digital Collage / Mixed Media
Artist: Fair Fab

Description:
Echoes of Ella is a vibrant, layered tribute to the Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald. Through a dynamic fusion of collage, silhouette, and painted textures, the piece explores the timeless legacy of jazz and soul music. A silhouette of a guitarist, faces from jazz history, vintage concert posters, and sheet music fragments all converge in a rich visual symphony.

The central figure of Ella—fragmented yet commanding—emerges from a textured sea of typography and memory, capturing both the power of her voice and the cultural rhythm she helped define. Warm hues of amber and crimson echo the tones of a smoky jazz club, while overlapping visual motifs mimic the improvisational nature of jazz itself.

This piece is a visual improvisation—celebrating sound, spirit, and Black excellence in American music history.
