ella fitzgerald & louis armstrong – ella and louis (1lp/ ltd. edition/ mono/ 180g)

A timeless jazz masterpiece, Ella and Louis captures the effortless chemistry between two of music’s most iconic voices. Recorded in 1956 for Verve Records, the album features laid-back, heartwarming renditions of American standards, backed by the Oscar Peterson Quartet.

Armstrong’s gravelly charm and trumpet interplay beautifully with Fitzgerald’s velvety tone, creating a warm, relaxed mood throughout. From “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” to “Cheek to Cheek,” this album is both intimate and monumental, making it an essential document of vocal jazz and a cornerstone in both artists’ storied careers.
