The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years.

Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it contains such timeless classics as "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "Stars Fell on Alabama, " "Autumn in New York, " "Summertime," and "They Can't Take That Away from Me."

  1. Giullia, this is a great post. The music bathes me in a warm sunshine and their voices are wonderfully matched. Seventy minutes worth of relaxing melodies which I can drift away to and forget the trials and tribulations. You and your blog are a real haven. Cheers, Terry Peck.
