Satch and Lady Ella blow up a storm February 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Back in the late '50's Ella Fitzgerald was just starting on her amazing 'songbook' series with Verve. Louis Armstrong was free of his long time Decca contract, touring the world and recording when he got the chance. Norman Granz at Verve has to be thanked for having the inspired idea of putting them together and making the arrangemetns to get Satch into his studio. They recorded three albums together, Ella and Louis (1956), Ella and Louis Again and Prgy and Bess (both 1957). Here we get the three complete albums and a wealth of extra material that wasn't released at the time.
It's hard to know where to start. I've always thought that both artists are superb, but both always attained new heights when paired with an equally strong artist (Louis' recordings with Duke Ellington, or Ella's with Count Basie for example, show them at the top of their game). Here they just go one further. I certainly rate these as the best recordings of Satch's career, and Ella was only better when she came to work with Duke Ellington on his songbook entry.
OK, so we have two superb artists, backed by some excellent musicians (including the Oscar Peterson trio), taking a joyous stroll through the great American songbook in the first two albums, and making a definitive version of Porgy and Bess in the third. I just can't rate these recordings highly enough. Louis is blowing some great trumpet solos (and laying down a sublime vocal) and Ella's singing is just amazing. The backing musicians are just swinging. And, most importantly, everyone just seems to be having a good time.
Definitely a set for any jazz fan, or just a fan of good music in general.
