Her albums with Louis Armstrong are a great entry point. Simply some of the most effervescent and delightful singing ever put to record. The way they play their voices off one another, the way they seamlessly slide into characters and give each song touches of themselves, is the work of real craft.
- DonnieP 2y agoWhy does an entry point to Ella need assistance from Louis Armstrong? His vocal instrument was unique, peculiar and spectacular. While they could certainly play off each other, his attempts at vocally harmonizing _with_ Ella are mostly cringeworthy musically. Rather than recordings where she had to adjust to his limitations (like letting him choose the key), why not instead listen to any of her highly-acclaimed "songbook" recordings?
- Pine_Mushroom 2y agoCouldn't agree more! Her collaborations with Joe Pass on guitar are also sublime.
