Editorial Reviews
2008 digitally remastered two CD collection featuring the majority of tracks recorded for the Ella & Louis (1956) and Ella & Louis Again (1957) albums. In August 1956, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong had come to record an album of duets and they were joined by the Oscar Peterson Trio (Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on bass and Herb Ellis on guitar) and drummer Buddy Rich. The resulting album, Ella and Louis was released later that year and is primarily a vocal album although Armstrong's distinctive trumpet does appear sporadically. The album consisted of standards performed in a relaxed but upbeat manner that reflects the fun they obviously had recording together. One year later they were back in the studio. Once again they were joined by the Oscar Peterson Trio but Buddy Rich was replaced by Louis Bellson on drums. Again the pair excelled and the resulting album was simply entitled Ella and Louis Again. 29 tracks including cuts not released on the original albums. Performance.

I was in absolute awe listening to Ella and Louis. I probably listened to the entire CD five times within one day. Three cheers for the masters!
