Opis Wydawcy:
Po wspólnym występie na koncercie gwiazd poprzedniego wieczoru, Ella Fitzgerald i Louis Armstrong spotkali się ponownie w studio nagraniowym w Los Angeles, aby nagrać spontanicznie album. Pomimo braku czasu na próby, artystyczne mistrzostwo Elli i Louisa oraz natychmiastowa chemia i porozumienie jakie osiągnęli, zaowocowała jednym z najlepszych albumów wszechczasów w historii jazzu.

Editor's info:
Ella and Louis is a studio album by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, accompanied by the Oscar Peterson Quartet, released in October 1956. Having previously collaborated in the late 1940s for the Decca label, this was the first of three albums that Fitzgerald and Armstrong were to record together for Verve Records, later followed by 1957's Ella and Louis Again and 1959's Porgy and Bess.
Norman Granz, the founder of the Verve label, selected eleven ballads for Fitzgerald and Armstrong, mainly played in a slow or moderate tempo. Recording began August 16, 1956, at the new Capitol Studios in Hollywood. Though Granz produced the album, Armstrong was given final say over songs and keys.
