ELLA FITZGERALD & LOUIS ARMSTRONG - PORGY & BESS

VERVE MONO PRESS - 2LP GATEFOLD

** NM 9/10 **

There have been many recordings of the music from the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess, but this is one of the more rewarding ones. Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald sing all of the parts, performing 16 of the play's best melodies. Unfortunately, there is not much Armstrong trumpet to be heard, but the vocals are excellent and occasionally wonderful, making up for the unimaginative Russ Garcia arrangements assigned to the backup orchestra.
