by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years.

by Various Artists

Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ...

Ella Swings Gently with Nelson

Ella Swings Gently with Nelson (1961) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

In 1961 Ella Fitzgerald recorded two albums with Nelson Riddle's Orchestra.

Although the accent is on ballads, several of the ...
