»Porgy And Bess«, aufgenommen im Winter 1957, war das dritte Album von Ella and Louis. Produziert wurde dieses Meisterwerk von Norman Granz. In die Grammy Hall of Fame schaffte das Album es im Jahr 2001. Zu verdanken ist das dem Umstand, daß 1973 eine spezielle Grammy Auszeichnung ins Leben gerufen wurde, die Aufnahmen auszeichnet, die mindestens 25 Jahre alt sind und sich entweder durch aussergewöhnliche Qualität oder historische Bedeutung auszeichnen.
Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, great mutual admirers, team up for 16 songs from the famous George Gershwin opera. This may very well be the most satisfying jazz version of Porgy & Bess. Russ Garcia's arrangements for the large orchestra work very well with the two singers.
This CD edition contains the complete classic version of Gershwin’s “Porgy & Bess” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, one of the true gems of jazz history. As a bonus, are added two rarely heard duets recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl in 1956.
Tracks #1-15 originally issued as Ella Fitzgerald / Louis Armstrong "Porgy and Bess" (Verve MGVS 6040-2).
Personnel: Ella Fitzgerald (vcl), Louis Armstrong (tp, vcl), with unknown piano, guitar, bass and drums. Orchestra arranged and conducted by Russell Garcia. Recorded in Los Angeles, California, on August 18 & October 14, 1957.
