The Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong edition of Verve's long-running COMPACT JAZZ series of reissues condenses threeremarkable albums--1955's ELLA AND LOUIS, 1956's ELLA AND LOUIS AGAIN, and 1958's PORGY AND BESS--into a fantastic 12-track collection. Of course, you could pick and random assortment of 12 tracks from these three discs and have a collection of fantastic merit, but these specific performances are particularly outstanding.
Opening with a swinging "They Can't Take That Away From Me", COMPACT JAZZ emphasises the more playful side of the Fitzgerald/Armstrong collaborations, downplaying the more serious PORGY AND BESS material--a lovely take of "Summertime" an exception--in favour of giddy versions of standards like "I Won't Dance" and "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off". There's an exuberant joy in this music thatwon't fail to charm even the most hard-hearted listener.
In Ella Fitzgerald (b. 1918) and Louis Armstrong (b. 1900? - d. 1971) one savors two uniquely American voices as different from one another as a cabarnet sauvignon and Wild Turkey. When the musical menu is strictly four-star, as is the case with the dozen tunes herein, Ella and Louis unfailingly make each course - or chorus - so much the tastier.
Aside from the two Porgy And Bess favorites, which are given orchestral treatments, the Ella-Louis format was generally as follows: She would lead off (with her partner sometimes providing trumpet obligati) and he would follow, or vice versa, with a typically glowing Armstrong solo over the chipper 4/4 of the Oscar Peterson quartet leading to some amiable give-and-take vocals (occasionally scattered or roughly harmonized) before everyone headed home.
Ella's style was mellow legato, Satch's gravelly staccato, and both were swing incarnate. Even on ballads they sounded as if they were having the times of their lives.
Ella and Louis made of these recordings during a 13-month period in 1956-57, at the tail end of what this cultural anthropologist considers the Old Showbiz Era, when great artists and great personalities were (or could be) one and the same, and songs like these were enjoyed by three generations of a family watching The Ed Sullivan Show every Sunday night. |
