Details: Amazon.ca Ella Fitzgerald's voice was satin to Louis Armstrong's sandpaper, but when you put them together on a single song, their chemistry was unimpeachable. This disc selects highlights from the three albums they made together at Verve (including their Porgy and Bess), and adds a spiffy live track from the Hollywood Bowl. Though they don't harmonise much (Armstrong's voice wasn't built for harmony), Ella's dignified swing and flashes of teasing wit play off Satchmo's gritty, good-humoured roar symbiotically. The material is mostly lightweight Tin Pan Alley stuff (lots of Gershwin, plus the likes of "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm"), and they fly it like a kite. --Douglas Wolk Product Description This new mid-priced single-CD compilation presents an overview from the recently released deluxe 3-CD the Complete Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong on Verve. The 2 previous Ella & Louis Verve single-CD collections are still best-sellers, and this new release can expect the same success. The set contains 15 tracks (over one hour) of classic jazz and great popular standards, featuring excellent sound and musical support by Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Louie Bellson; Russell Garcia's orchestra is featured on 2 tracks.
