Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s combined output is not only music but also pure enchantment. Their voices, quite different but perfectly complementary, together produce something that seems nearly extraterrestrial. Every note they belt, whether it’s a gentle lullaby or a sharp jazz number, seems to be momentous. Their shows are ageless, therefore demonstrating that real talent never dies.
From Porgy and Bess, Summertime is one of their most spectacular collaborations. Starting with Ella’s mellow, dreamy voice, the song establishes a sophisticated and relaxed tone. Next comes Louis, whose flinty voice gives the song more feeling and depth. Their voices together with a soft, flowing composition gives this tune the feel of a warm summer evening—calm, lovely, and unforgettable.

It’s the sort of tune that seems like a soft embrace from the past, reminding us why jazz will forever be timeless.
Ella and Louis are particularly remarkable in their connection—that alone would be amazing—but they nevertheless connect with stuff. Their duets are conversational and abounding with love, humor, and respect. Their shows have a propensity of causing you to feel something deep within your soul, whether you are a longtime jazz fan or just now discovering their music.
