Dubbed "The First Lady of Song," Ella Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the United States for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums. She performed at top venues all over the world, and packed them to the hilt. Her audiences were as diverse as her vocal range. They were rich and poor, made up of all races, all religions and all nationalities. In fact, many of them had just one binding factor in common - they all loved her.
Her voice was flexible, wide-ranging, accurate and ageless. She could sing sultry ballads, sweet jazz and imitate every instrument in an orchestra. She worked with all the jazz greats, from Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat King Cole, to Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman. And of course, Louis Armstrong.
By the time of Louis Armstrong's death in 1971, the man known around the world as Satchmo was widely recognized as a founding father of jazza uniquely American art form. His influence, as an artist and cultural icon, is universal, unmatched, and very much alive today.
Louis Armstrongs achievements are remarkable. During his career, he developed a way of playing jazz, as an instrumentalist and a vocalist, which has had an impact on all musicians to follow. He recorded hit songs for five decades, and his music is still heard today on television and radio and in films. He composed dozens of songs that have become jazz standards and performed an average of 300 concerts each year. With his frequent tours to all parts of the world earning him the nickname Ambassador Satch, and became one of the first great celebrities of the twentieth century.
Now you can enjoy two jazz greats performing together such classics as "The Nearness of You", "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)", "April In Paris" and many more on this triple LP box set!
