  • Description

    Presented here is the complete classic album Porgy and Bess (Verve MGV- 4011-2), the third and last of the LPs Norman Granz produced coupling the talents of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

    It consists of a selection of songs from the homonymous George Gershwin folk opera, and remains one of the true gems in jazz history. A song from the sessions left out of the original album, and mono versions of two performances that present several differences with respect of the Stereo masters have been added as a bonus.

    Description

    Limited edition 180g premium vinyl for super fidelity, presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

    'Porgy & Bess' was the third and final album collaboration between Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and producer Norman Granz. Featuring songs from the George & Ira Gershwins opera, which was inspired by the DuBose Heyward play 'Porgy', it received both critical acclaim and commercial success internationally.

    "As the tracks progress, you think she is cutting Armstrong - only to turn around and believe that Armstrong is cutting her. The truth, of course, is that they are outdoing themselves. This is a Porgy performance you would be ill-advised to miss." - Gene Lees, DownBeat

    Description

    The complete classic version of Gershwin's porgy & Bess by Ella and Louis, one of the true gems of jazz history as a bonus, two rarely heard duets recorded live at the Hollywood bowl in 1956 includes 16-page booklet.
