Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's Ella & Louis is a timeless collaboration that showcases the undeniable chemistry between these two jazz legends. From the moment these powerhouse vocalists join forces on the classic track "Can't We Be Friends?" it's clear that this album is something special.

Fitzgerald's sultry, smooth vocals perfectly complement Armstrong's soulful trumpet playing, creating a magical blend of sounds that will transport you to a smoky jazz club in the 1950s. Tracks like "Cheek to Cheek" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me" are pure joy to listen to, with each note dripping with emotion and charisma.

The instrumentation on Ella & Louis is top-notch, with lush arrangements that perfectly complement the vocal performances. The interplay between Armstrong's trumpet and Fitzgerald's voice is nothing short of magical, with each musician pushing the other to new heights.

In true Pitchfork fashion, we can't help but nitpick a little. Some tracks on Ella & Louis feel a bit repetitive, with the same jazz standards appearing multiple times throughout the album. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise flawless collaboration.

Overall, Ella & Louis is a must-listen for any jazz fan. Fitzgerald and Armstrong's undeniable talent and chemistry shine through on every track, making this album a true classic. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let these two jazz giants serenade you into a blissful musical stupor.
