• Track Listing

Who in their right mind would want to miss out on a duet by the Queen of Jazz and the towering jazz titan we lovingly call Satchmo? This set is the first to compile every duet Ella and Louis recorded, via their remastered LPs "Ella and Louis," "Ella and Louis Again" and "Porgy and Bess" plus their eight Decca singles, recordings from Live at the Hollywood Bowl and even some alternates and false starts that preserve their good humor as well as their artistry. An extensive essay joins "The Frim Fram Sauce," "Dream a Little Dream of Me," "Can’t We Be Friends," "Isn’t This a Lovely Day," "They Can’t Take That Away from Me," "A Foggy Day," "Stars Fell on Alabama," "The Nearness of You," "April in Paris," "I Get a Kick out of You," "Summertime," "The Memphis Blues" (with Bing Crosby), "Undecided," "Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love)," "Willow Weep for Me," "Makin’ Whoopee" and more! Verve.
