Ella & Louis Armstrong Fitzgerald - Ella And Louis

Facts 180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition- *Down Beat This was the first of the three LPs Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong made for jazz producer Norman Granz between 1956 and 1957 (the other two were the sequel Ella & Louis Again and a selection of tunes from George Gershwin's folk opera Porgy & Bess). While the latter utilized a big orchestra conducted by Russell Garcia, the first two albums were made in a small group format. And what an incredible small group! The Oscar Peterson Trio, featuring Herb Ellis and Ray Brown (who had been Ella's husband) received the addition of drummers Buddy Rich (on the first album) and Louie Bellson (on the second). The results: some of the most fascinating jazz music ever produced. 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION. The Complete Album.
