Reviews :
« Ella and Louis is an inspired collaboration, masterminded by producer Norman Granz. Both artists were riding high at this stage in their careers, and Granz assembled a stellar quartet of Oscar Peterson (piano), Buddy Rich (drums), Herb Ellis (guitar) and Ray Brown (bass). Equally inspired was the choice of material, with the gruffness of Armstrong's voice blending like magic with Fitzgerald's stunningly silky delivery. Outstanding are Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek" and "Isn't This a Lovely Day," and everything else works like a dream, with the golden star going to the Gershwin brothers' "They Can't Take That Away from Me." Gentle and sincere, this is deserving of a place in every home. » AllMusic Review by Rovi Staff
"Ella was the most popular female jazz singer in the U.S. for over a half century, selling over 40 million albums. Louis was considered one of the founders of jazz, and was known around the world as Satchmo. He had toned down his earlier whooping and shoveling sort of delivery a bit, but it’s still the same old Satchmo. The two perform 30 of their favorite songs together on this Blu-ray, in a musical match made in heaven. The Great American Songbook is the source of most of the tunes, and their delivery shows the world just how these songs should be sung." John Sunier, Audiophile Audition, Dec 29, 2013
