內容簡介
內容簡介 • LIMITED EDITION • INCLUDES 1 BONUS TRACKSThe mood of their Verve recording together, though, was deliberately gentler, less taxing, more intimate. These tunes, light in their way, almost homespun, are invested with extraordinary humanity. There isn’t an ounce of sentiment in “Under a Blanket of Blue” or “Isn’t This a Lovely Day?”, but there is a deep feeling and a profound sense of human solidarity. They were not singing about civil rights, there is no erotic charge in the encounter; when they sing about breaking hearts, it’s clear that everything is mendable. The challenge of bebop had been met and quietly negotiated. There was jazz with its original message: the individual matters, but others matter, too. - Penguin Guide to JazzThe mutual respect with which Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and the other four exceptional musicians go through a repertoire of unforgettable standards selected by Granz is readily apparent. Songs like “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”, “Tenderly” and “April in Paris” make Ella & Louis a jewel of simplicity and timeless humanity. - Jazz MagazinePERSONNEL:Ella Fitzgerald - vocalsLouis Armstrong - trumpet & vocalsOscar Peterson - pianoHerb Ellis - guitarRay Brown - bassBuddy Rich - drumsHollywood, August 16, 1956. p>(*) Bonus track: Ella Fitzgerald (vc), Louis Armstrong (tp, vc)with Bob Haggart & His Orchestra.
