Ella & Louis (Verve Essentials) (140g) [LP]

Perhaps the most joyful jazz album of all time and a masterpiece of both artistry and recording technique. After Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong had performed together the night before at an all-star concert, they went into a studio in L.A. on August 16, 1956, to record this gem of an album. Although they had no time to rehearse, the chemistry was immediate, and the result is one of the few truly indispensable recordings in jazz.

The Verve Essentials series offers high-quality LP editions of famous albums from the legendary jazz label at an attractive price. They are produced from hi-res masters, pressed on 140-gram vinyl when possible, and packaged in faithful reproductions of the original single-sleeve covers. The perfect introduction for new jazz fans or an affordable way to fill gaps in your collection.
