Producer Norman Granz made a brilliant move when he signed jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong to his Verve label. Dubbed 'A match made in heaven' by critics, this dynamic duo returns in Ella And Louis Again, the sequel to the 1956 hit Ella and Louis. Ella's radiant, honey - sweet voice pairs perfectly with Louis' gritty croon, creating a commercially successful sound. Backed by the Oscar Peterson trio, with Louie Bellson on drums, this 10 - track album features seven solo and three duet tracks. Unlike their first album and Porgy and Bess, Ella and Louis Again focuses on the artists' voices, putting these two icons front and center. This Acoustic Sounds edition is a limited - edition 180g black double vinyl pressing, remastered from original analog tapes and housed in a tip - on gatefold sleeve with liner notes. Originally released in 1957, it's reissued by Verve in 2022.
To enjoy this vinyl album, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the sleeve, holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable, center it, and lower the tonearm carefully. As the music plays, sit back and soak in the amazing jazz performance. When you're done, lift the tonearm gently and turn off the turntable. Then, put the vinyl back into its sleeve to protect it from dust. Store the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Don't stack heavy objects on it. If the vinyl gets dirty, use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Remember, this is a limited - edition item, so take good care of it to keep it in great shape for years of enjoyment.
