About this album
Ella And Louis is a superbly matched duet album that turns two jazz giants into conversational partners. Recorded in 1956 with Oscar Peterson’s trio behind them and produced by Norman Granz, the album finds Ella Fitzgerald’s supple precision and Louis Armstrong’s gravelled warmth balancing each other beautifully across a set of standards. Their contrasting voices create real drama and easy rapport on songs such as Can’t We Be Friends, Cheek to Cheek and They Can’t Take That Away From Me. Widely admired for its charm, swing and human scale, the record remains one of the great vocal pairings in jazz.
