Two giants, one perfect pairing — swing, soul, and charm in every note.
Released in 1956 and produced by Norman Granz, Ella and Louis is the sound of pure joy. Backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer Buddy Rich, Fitzgerald and Armstrong bring out the best in each other — her graceful clarity and his gravelly warmth in perfect harmony. Standouts like “Cheek to Cheek,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” and “Moonlight in Vermont” radiate charm and intimacy. The chemistry is effortless, the phrasing impeccable. Ella and Louis is not just a vocal jazz classic — it’s one of the most beloved duet albums in any genre.
