Description
Originally released in 1956, Ella and Louis brought Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong together for the first of three collaborative albums recorded for Verve Records. Produced by Norman Granz, the album pairs Fitzgerald’s clear phrasing with Armstrong’s distinctive vocals and trumpet across eleven jazz standards.

The accompanying musicians include Oscar Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and Buddy Rich on drums. This Verve Essential Vinyl Series edition presents the original mono album on 140-gram black vinyl, including “Cheek to Cheek,” “A Foggy Day,” and “They Can’t Take That Away from Me.”
