Cheek To Cheek - The Complete Duet Recordings | 7LP
Verve, 2026
La musica che Ella Fitzgerald e Louis Armstrong hanno creato insieme costituisce la Bibbia del canto jazz e consolida la loro statura come due dei più grandi vocalist della storia. Tutto ciò che c'è da sapere è qui: come swingare, come improvvisare, come fraseggiare, come cantare con umorismo, pathos e anima.
Questo cofanetto definitivo di 7 LP contiene tutta la musica che Ella e Louis hanno realizzato insieme: i loro singoli per la Decca, tre album classici per la Verve (Ella and Louis, Ella and Louis Again, Porgy and Bess), registrazioni dal vivo e rare versioni alternative.
Questo cofanetto include:
75 brani
Oltre 5 ore di musica
Libro di 16 pagine
Fotografie e riproduzioni delle copertine originali
Saggio di Ricky Riccardi, autore vincitore di un Grammy® e direttore delle collezioni di ricerca per la Louis Armstrong House Museum
