Complete Ella Fitzgerald And Louis Armstrong Studio Recorded Duets, The - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Ella And Louis - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Advantages: Amazing contrast of voices,
Disadvantages: Some sonic quality is lost due to the age of the recording

This CD is a brilliant stepping-stone into the Jazz world. The instantly recognisable voice of Louis Armstrong is familiarly heart warming, Louis stood next to the sensational Ella, make a fine pair. The strong vocals are supported by the excellent band, with great instrumental links keeping the listener on the edge of their seat. The intensity and coarseness of Mr. Armstrong's voice compels the audience to wish for the next scat solo or the next parade of incredible human talent that is Louis. Of course the same can be said of the sassy Ms. Fitzgerald who can sustain these high levels of aptitude. I recommend this CD to any budding music fan who wishes to broaden their Musical horizons! HAPPY LISTENING! BY, JAKE HEMMING ...

For the next 20 years Louis and his group toured the world, having such famous records like Hello Dolly which knocked the famous Beatles off the top charts. In 1968 Louis recorded the song What A Wonderful World which he sang with so much feeling, it was almost like a diary, how he?d seen trees of green, red roses too and how he?d seen them bloom, he sang about children playing and how he?d watched them grow, it was like as if he was reliving his life ...

Ella Fitzgerald Vocals at Best

Advantages: A compact CD with excellent repertoire
Disadvantages: May not be know to the younger generation

Ella Fitzgerald provides good enjoyable listening and a splendid addition to previous volumes - a veritable Jazz experience, well recommended. As an old classic released in 2005 this Ella Fitzgerald Vol. 4 is not new on the market but still provides enjoyable background music - why not propose on occasions such as family celebrations or some super wedding anniversary? Ella Fitzgerald generates loving memories and moving old-time novelties for the younger generation.
