The Iridium Jazz Club is pleased to present soul, jazz and R&B diva Ms. Freda Payne in a very special Tribute To Ella Fitzgerald through Sunday, through March 28th.

Freda Payne, celebrated R&B and jazz vocalist, who shot to fame with her #1 Hit, "Band of Gold," and "Bring the Boys Home," pays tribute to the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, as no one else can! Payne, the star of such Broadway shows as Jelly's Last Jam, Sophisticated Ladies and Blues in the Night, "conjures the spirit of Ella" with her renditions of "A-Tisket, a-Tasket," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "It Don't Mean a Thing." and "Mack the Knife," as well as many other Fitzgerald classics.

"Payne conjures the spirit of Ella... she's off the charts with Ella-tonian fever. Payne rocketed the crowd up into Ella's galaxy." - New York Amsterdam News

"Payne bears a remarkable resemblance to the legendary singer's sound, and has mastered the wordless scatting style developed by Ella." - Variety

"Payne makes Ella worth seeing and hearing. Her scatting is a wonder." - Star-Ledger
