I like Armstrong and Fitzgerald together.And this is the completed Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstong together ON VERVE RECORDS.The previous reviewers have a few facts wrong.Ella and Louis did record Dream a Little Dream of Me on DECCA Records.True, GRP has released a great deal of Ella's Decca output, there are some cuts missing, due from my understanding, some legal complexity.Ella did record Baby, It's Cold Outside with Louis Jordan.The track isn't included in any of Ella's Decca CD outputs, but it was included in The Complete Louis Jordan on Decca.But, Baby It's Cold Outside isn't on any of the 9 CDs, it is on the EP that came in the CD box set.Was this review helpful to you?This album is so musically beautiful it makes me cry.This is such a a wonderful collection, I had a double cd that had a huge collection of duets by Louis and Ella, it disappeared and I spent a long time trying to find another one...If you could own only one music collection ...This set has every worthwhile song ever recorded by what may be the best musical duo ever.And even though the price tag may seem high for a collection of ancient standards that...Louis never recorded Baby' it's Cold Outside together.Luois taped that with Velma Middleton.It states that it is COMPLETE, yet songs like Dream a little dream of me, and Baby it's cold...Just to save some other collectors the time.The ABC's of Classic Rock!Be the first person to add an article about this item at Amapedia.What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?My Favorite Jazz Albums: A list by Nicolas W.Music You Should Hear: Artists' PicksWant to know what Norah Jones, Sting, and Il Divo are listening to?For more about music, check out our blog, Amazon Earworm, and our monthly newsletters, Amazon Delivers.Using your checking account at Amazon.If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us.Your comments can help make our site better for everyone.Track your recent orders.Visit our Help department.Complimentary Louis Armstrong Ringtones.Request Free Catalogs Online.John, Professor Longhair, The Meters, Fats Domino, Buckwheat Zydeco and many others.Quite simply, Louis Armstrong invented the concept of swing.His Hot Fives and Sevens introduced the soloist emphasis to the jazz world.In addition, his singing style, similar to his trumpet style, removed the rigidity of vocals, replacing it with unique syncopated phrasing.She had perfect pitch, controlled her voice like an instrument, and was elegant and affable in everything she did.We'd really appreciate it!Plus, every 20th person will win a free CD!Throw together two of the most charismatic performers in all of jazz history, a collection of timeless standards, and a swinging band, and you end up with spirited, buoyant, and infinitely enjoyable music.Louis works to sublime perfection.Their work showcases an effortless camaraderie, vibrant sense of humor, and, of course, the wonderful combination of talent and appeal.Armstrong's trumpet offers energetic solos and silky support behind Ella."Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" opens with a bubbly Armstrong solo and ends with a flourish of Ella's vocals and Armstrong's horn.The intensity builds with each chorus of "I Won't Dance" as a delicate Fitzgerald intro gives way to conversational interplay, impromptu harmonies, and inspiring asides.The big band moves in for "It Ain't Necessarily So": After Armstrong's majestic trumpet intro, Ella adds terrific scat choruses and Satchmo even makes the word "abdomen"swing.Fitzgerald's relaxed opening to "Stompin' at the Savoy" shows no hint of the fire to come.Ella holding back the laughter.The mournful intro to "A Foggy Day" proves Armstrong could still sing it straight with his wonderfully unique phrasing.Register for an account if you're new around here.Like is a trademark of iLike.Russel Garcia Orchestra
Notes:
Quite simply, Louis Armstrong invented the concept of swing.Throw together two of the most charismatic performers in all of jazz history, a collection of timeless standards, and a swinging band, and you end up with spirited, buoyant, and infinitely enjoyable music.Ten songs feature Oscar Peterson's small group while the remaining two cuts come from a Porgy and Bess session with a large orchestra.Louis works to sublime perfection.Armstrong's trumpet offers energetic solos and silky support behind Ella."Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" opens with a bubbly Armstrong solo and ends with a flourish of Ella's vocals and Armstrong's horn.The intensity builds with each chorus of "I Won't Dance" as a delicate Fitzgerald intro gives way to conversational interplay, impromptu harmonies, and inspiring asides.Just try not to smile as the pair merrily rolls through "A Fine Romance."Fitzgerald's relaxed opening to "Stompin' at the Savoy" shows no hint of the fire to come.Peterson supplies some of his most tasteful and restrained support throughout, and the rapport between the two leaders is nothing short of magical. |
