Tracks list

Porgy and Bess is a studio album by jazz vocalist and trumpeter Louis Armstrong
and singer Ella Fitzgerald, released on Verve Records in 1958. The third and
final of the pairs albums for the label, it is a suite of selections from the
George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess. Orchestral arrangements are by Russell
Garcia, who had previously arranged the 1956 jazz vocal recording The Complete
Porgy and Bess.

Getting the two most personable voices in jazz to sing an hours worth of George
Gershwins opera Porgy & Bess (Ella doing all the female parts, Satchmo all the
male) was a good idea, but not quite as great as it sounded. Armstrong savours
the down-and-dirty Charlestonisms that inspired the cadences of the music and
lyrics and they fit his happy rasp like an old shoe; Fitzgerald, conversely,
sounds almost prissy every time she has to sing the word aint, though her
melodic genius gets Gershwins bold, supple tunes over. The arrangements are
full-throttle Broadway, with a few leaps into Dixieland (including some fine
Armstrong trumpet solos), but the disc works best when the vocalists break
character and let their jazz side out. --Douglas Wolk
