Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s "Ella & Louis" is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of jazz standards. The dynamic duo delivers a masterclass in vocal chemistry, with Fitzgerald’s smooth, shimmering voice perfectly complemented by Armstrong's iconic gravelly tones. The album kicks off with the charming "Can't We Be Friends?", setting the tone for a series of enchanting duets that showcase the pair's undeniable musical prowess. Tracks like "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Cheek to Cheek" see Fitzgerald and Armstrong play off each other with infectious energy, creating a truly magical listening experience. Throughout "Ella & Louis", the musicianship on display is second to none. Armstrong’s trumpet solos are as powerful as ever, while Fitzgerald’s effortless vocal runs leave listeners in awe. The backing band provides a solid foundation for the duo to shine, with impeccable timing and tasteful flourishes that enhance the overall sound. While the album is undeniably a classic, there are moments where the formula feels a bit tired. Tracks like "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and "A Foggy Day" fail to reach the same dizzying heights as the standout songs on the album, leaving listeners longing for more. Overall, "Ella & Louis" is a timeless gem that showcases the incredible talents of two jazz legends at the top of their game. With its infectious charm and undeniable chemistry, this album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre.
