"... a musical match made in heaven."
- Audiophile Audition
"... Pops and the First Lady of Song seem to be singing in the room, right before your eyes."
- Stereophile
"... captures some of the finest vocal work of the past century ... a highlight of the 1950s, a busy time for classic vocal jazz records ... both were in fine form, Fitzgerald's sweetly melodic voice contrasting nicely with Armstrong's coarse rasp ... Fitzgerald and Armstrong sound positively ebullient together ..."
- All About Jazz
This is the first of two collections of popular tunes Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong teamed up to record in 1956 and 1957. Produced by the legendary Norman Granz, these sessions feature an all-star group of musicians including Armstrong on vocals and trumpet, Oscar Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on drums.
