#6 Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Porgy & Bess


Porgy And Bess

This CD has to contain some of the most beautiful jazz singing on record - Ella is on amazing form.

In every track some harmony, melody or counter melody tugs your ear and sounds modern yet classic at the same time. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Now, where's my CD of Miles Davis' Porgy and Bess...
