And to know that you loved me for my singing is too much for me. Forgive me if I don't have all the words. Maybe I can sing it and you'll understand.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic is important in our home, and relaxing here in The Grand Review studio I could easily write all day about Ella Fitzgerald.  Her musical family tree is as big as the sky, from the roots through the heavy branches and out to the always growing, always reaching tips of the new growth leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have several Ella photos in our collection, but I'd never put one through our restoration process until this one came to us.  Comically, there was a strange embarrassment of riches because this is one of three we acquired from the same session with the legendary entertainment industry photog, Bruno of Hollywood.  I asked friends who stopped by to give an opinion and every one of them was smitten with all three... except... \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one, of the three, had a splay of 78rpm platters that beautifully grounded the whole composition, and all of us ultimately picked this shot.  Unanimous! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no place, no wall, no environment this great portrait doesn't enliven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks, Ella, for everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e_________________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHIPPING\u003cbr\u003eAll prints are shipped in a sturdy mailing tube for $8, which covers postage, tube and S \u0026amp; H.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUYING MORE THAN ONE PRINT?

Please contact us for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Grand Review","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41063814070330,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1960\/8381\/files\/il_fullxfull.1391048379_5sod.webp?v=1761003094","url":"https:\/\/the-grand-review.myshopify.com\/products\/ella-fitzgerald-the-queen-of-jazz-amazing-studio-promo-portrait-by-bruno-of-hollywood-with-78rpm-records-aplenty","provider":"The Grand Review","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
