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."

At 9:30 pm, the night continues with the North American female group Momentum Octet. Led by pianist, composer and University of Michigan professor Ellen Rowe, the group was born from the work “Portraits of Women in Motion”. Recognized as an inspiration for new generations of artists, Ellen promises a sensational show.

On Sunday, the last night of the festival begins at 7pm, with the launch of the CD “Randy Brecker Live in Amazonas”, which marks the end of the 2023 edition of the Festival.

With more than 50 years of career at the top of jazz culture, the American trumpeter has been nominated 12 times for a Grammy and won 10 times. The show will also have the Amazonas Jazz Band on stage and the special participation of Brazilian saxophonists Felipe Salles and Rodrigo Ursaia.
Soon after, at 8:30 pm, there will be a show with Eliane Elias and her quartet., at Amazonas Jazz Band, played with Randy Brecker in the last edition, in 2022.

Initially, we didn't think about turning those moments into an album, but Brecker saw a very great quality. We are very honored by the honor”, highlights Rui Carvalho, conductor of the Amazonas Jazz Band and artistic director of the Festival.
