Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald: The Verve Years at National Jazz Museum in Harlem 10/19October 16, 2010On the surface, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald may seem to be a pair of musical artists with vastly different approaches to song. Armstrong's gravely voice might be viewed as diametrically opposed to the perfect pitch beauty of Ella's vocal instrument. But if we look, or rather hear more deeply, we discover not only musical conceptions that cooperate without antagonism, but a profound sensibility of swing at the heart of what makes jazz a universally acclaimed idiom around the world. Their collaborations on the Verve label are masterpieces to be experienced time and time again, with new revelations surfacing upon each listen. Your time will be well spent, and your very soul enriched tonight. We promise!
