In "They Can't Take That Away From Me," Ella begins in a bright swing tempo while Louis plays muted trumpet in the background, then Louis sings, Ella improvises, and Louis echoes. "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good" is a vampy number with Louis soloing on the trumpet, Peterson and Rich accompanying, and Ella entering about halfway through the song. "It Ain't Necessarily So" includes Louis's soaring trumpet, Ella singing scat, Louis singing scat, Peterson 's piano, and a big band sound at the end. "Stompin' at the Savoy" has Ella's best scat and a great trumpet solo by Louis. "A Foggy Day" is one of the best songs on the album, if one must choose only one. Again, Oscar Peterson's piano is memorable--and simple--with Ella improvising and Louis soloing on trumpet, before joining her and singing in counterpoint.
All these musicians obviously respect each other, trust each other, and listen to each other, creating a unified sound out from the disparate talents each brings to the studio. Best of all, it is obvious that they are having real fun together, and the listener will join them in that fun. Mary Whipple
In "They Can't Take That Away From Me," Ella begins in a bright swing tempo while Louis plays muted trumpet in the background, then the two alternate solos. "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good" is a vampy number with Louis soloing on the trumpet, Peterson and Rich accompanying, and Ella joining them halfway through. "It Ain't Necessarily So" features both stars singing scat, with Louis's soaring trumpet, and Peterson on the piano. "A Foggy Day," one of the best songs on the album, features Oscar Peterson's memorable and simple piano--with Ella improvising and Louis on trumpet.
