Ella Fitzgerald- Ella and Louis Again-2xLP

Ella and Louis Again captures the magnetic partnership of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong in their second collaborative album, recorded in 1957. This release highlights their seamless blend of duet and solo performances, with Armstrong’s solo vocals on "Let's Do It" (Let's Fall in Love) providing a charming contrast to their joint efforts. The album also features Fitzgerald’s signature scat singing on "Stompin' At The Savoy," followed by Armstrong’s trumpet solo, showcasing the dynamic interplay that defines their work together. Backed by a stellar ensemble including Oscar Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and Louie Bellson on drums, the record offers a rich jazz experience produced by Norman Granz, a pivotal figure in the genre’s history. This 1957 pressing on vinyl presents the album in a format that jazz enthusiasts will appreciate for its vintage character. The record is in VG++ condition, meaning the vinyl is glossy and very clean with only minor light marks that should not interfere with playback. This copy provides a solid listen for those drawn to classic vocal jazz duets, making it a noteworthy addition for collectors or fans of Fitzgerald and Armstrong’s timeless collaboration.
