Ella and Oscar

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald & Oscar Peterson (see all versions of this release, 7 available)

Annotation

Notes

One of the very rewarding small formations releases by Ella, here in duets and trio with Peterson and Brown. Fitzgerald is still in great form at that time, though of course no longer at the top-height of the 50s.
A worthwile acquisition for any exigent jazz listener.
