Two of the most influential and popular voices in modern music, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong form a jazz dream team on Ella and Louis Together. A once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece, their distinctive vocals meld seamlessly together along with Armstrong's exceptional trumpet playing. This pairing has become the touchstone and template for jazz vocal duets.

If you want just one or two of Ella's CDs... then it should be "Gold - All Her Greatest Hits" and this "Ella and Louis Together" (and if you can have the third, please make it "The Complete Ella In Berlin: Mack The Knife" [Live album])
I have most of her CDs, and I can tell that the person who assembled "Gold - All her Greatest Hits" and this "Ella and Louis Together" loves Ella so profoundly. The songs he picked and the song order are of an absolute perfection. If you are after compilation CDs of Ella, look no further!
Only small shame (not the fault of the compiler) is that the first voice of Loius sounds a tiny bit distorted, but, hey, this is an old recording. Having said that the restoring job was done beautifully throughtout the CD.
On this CD, Ella sounds so happy, mellow and feminine. This is not surprising at all - Pops (Louis) was Ella's hero even before she started to sing professionally. And this romantic tone matches beautifully with the voice of Louis, which is a tad rough. This CD kicks off in an up-lifting tempo, but the atmosphere turns rather amorous after "April in Paris" towards the end.
In Japan, we had an even better restored version of "Ella and Louis" (no longer available... It was released to mark Ella's 75th birthday. What a cruel world). And if you listen carefully enough, you can tell that they are sharing one microphone. Because of her deep respect to Louis, Ella stands a little further to the microphone, and when it is her turn to sing, Louis gently pushes her closer to the microphone (so her voice starts a little remote at the beginning of her turns). I love Ella's modesty like this. And she was already a big star at the time of recording! What a wonderful lady she was... No wonder Frank Sinatra was heard to say " Ella Fitzgerald is as good a musician and vocalist as anyone is going to hear for the next one hundred years"
Perfect with a glass of chilled rose wine in the warm summer night under the sky full of shining sliver stars.

Love the combination of Ella and Louis' voices. Play it quite a lot in the car to relax me before a hefty day at work. Some of the songs towards the end of the CD aren't as good though.
