  • Description

    180g virgin vinyl pressing, limited edition - the complete album. ''Ella and Louis' is some of the most fascinating and commercially successful jazz music ever produced. 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 utilised 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, Ray Brown (who had been Ella's husband) and Buddy Rich (on the second album the drum chair was covered by Louie Bellson).
