• Louis Armstrong’s career began nearly 15 years before Ella Fitzgerald’s. In fact, Louis was one of Ella’s first musical idols and even at the early stages of her career she would perform a song in her program (usually “Basin Street Blues”) imitating Louis’ voice, both as a joke and an homage.

• Although they recorded a few sides together in the 1940’s, their best work as a team was made between 1956 and 1957. Those memorable albums were ‘Ella & Louis’, its sequel ‘Ella & Louis Again’ and the selection of tunes from George Gershwin’s folk opera ‘Porgy & Bess’.

• The results: some of the most fascinating jazz music ever produced. Most of the highlights from these sessions are included on this set.

• Personnel : Ella Fitzgerald vocals & Louis Armstrong trumpet & vocals - with Oscar Peterson (p), Herb Ellis (g), Ray Brown (b), Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson (d) - Orchestra conducted by Russell García. Recorded in Hollywood & Los Angeles, 1956-57.

• 2-CD Set - Total Time: 158:23 min. - 33 tracks.
