Ella & Louis - Again
Ella Fitzgerald180-GRAM COLORED RED VINYL - THE COMPLETE ALBUM
The sequel to the previous year's wonderful Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again (1957) again showcases the magic of Ella Fitzgerald's vocals and Louis Armstrong vocals and trumpet giving their own magic
versions of standard tunes backed by the Oscar Peterson Quartet. In this particular case, the second part was just as superb as the first one.
Down Beat “On the whole, judged as entertainment, and from the perspective of anyone who has ever had a phonographic romance with either Ella or Louis, this set is more relaxed and more successful than their previous cooperative venture. It can hardly fail to break sales records for them both.” (Leonard Feather)
Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to
Jazz's writer BRIAN MORTON and by Paris' prestigious JAZZ MAGAZINE. LIMITED EDITION

edition includes ALL of their duets from these sessions, while discarding all of the songs
