An inspired collaboration, masterminded by producer Norman Granz. Both artists were riding high at this stage in their careers. Granz assembled a stellar quartet of Oscar Peterson (piano), Buddy Rich (drums), Herb Ellis (guitar) and Ray Brown (bass). Equally inspired was the choice of material, with the gruffness of Armstrong`s voice blending like magic with Fitzgerald`s stunningly silky delivery. Outstanding are Irving Berlin`s "Cheek To Cheek" and "Isn`t This A Lovely Day," and everything else works like a dream, with the golden star going to the Gershwin brothers` "They Can`t Take That Away From Me." Gentle and sincere, this is deserving of a place in every home.
