Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Ella And Louis LP

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Ella And Louis LP

Ella And Louis is the classic 1956 studio album by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, accompanied by the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Recorded for Verve, it remains one of the most beloved vocal jazz collaborations, built around relaxed swing, elegant phrasing and the unmistakable contrast between Ella’s pure vocal tone and Armstrong’s gravelly voice and trumpet.

This single LP edition includes Can’t We Be Friends, Isn’t This A Lovely Day, Moonlight In Vermont, They Can’t Take That Away From Me, Under A Blanket Of Blue, Tenderly, A Foggy Day, Stars Fell On Alabama, Cheek To Cheek, The Nearness Of You and April In Paris. The album is intimate, warm and timeless, with two legendary voices meeting in a beautifully understated jazz setting.

This LP vinyl reissue was released by Verve on 24 March 2016. The edition is presented as a 180 gram vinyl pressing mastered at Abbey Road, making it a strong core title for vocal jazz and classic jazz collections.

On a good hi-fi system, Ella And Louis should sound intimate, natural and beautifully balanced: voices placed clearly in the room, Armstrong’s trumpet with warmth and bite, and the Oscar Peterson Quartet providing a relaxed, elegant foundation.
