Ella and Louis

Ella and Louis is a 1956 studio album by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, accompanied by the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Having previously collaborated in the late 1940s for the Decca label, this was the first of three albums that Fitzgerald and Armstrong were to record together for Verve Records.

The Album

Norman Granz, the founder of the Verve label, selected eleven ballads for Fitzgerald and Armstrong, mainly played in a slow or moderate tempo. They were arranged and conducted by Verve Record's resident arranger/conductor and Head of A&R, Buddy Bregman.

The success of Ella and Louis was replicated by Ella and Louis Again and Porgy and Bess. All three were released as The Complete Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong on Verve.

Verve released the album also as one of the first ones in Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD).

This album joined the Grammy Hall of Fame on November 22, 2015.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong make for a charming team on this CD... this is primarily a vocal set with the emphasis on tasteful renditions of ballads."

1992–2012 The Anthology

1992–2012 The Anthology is a three-disc compilation album by Underworld, released 4 December 2011 on underworldlive.com for digital download. The physical CDs were released on 23 January 2012, along with A Collection, a single-disc compilation with radio edits. The first two discs contain a revamped version of 1992–2002, while the third disc of the collection contains an unreleased track from the band's early period, along with b-sides and other rarities. 1992–2012 is notable for including an extended version of "Jumbo", which was previously only available on select promotional copies of Underworld's previous greatest hits collection, 1992–2002. Though the full version of "Moaner" is featured on 1992-2012, it quickly fades out at the end instead of ending abruptly. Along with previous soundtrack contributions "Born Slippy .NUXX", "Dark & Long (Dark Train)", "8 Ball" and "Moaner", this greatest hits package also includes "Cowgirl", as featured in Hackers; and "To Heal", which was used in Sunshine under the name "Capa Meets the Sun".
