These tunes, light in their way, almost homespun, are invested with an extraordinary humanity. There isn\\u2019t an ounce of sentiment in \\u201cUnder a Blanket of Blue\\u201d or \\u201cIsn\\u2019t This a Lovely Day?\\u201d, but there is deep feeling and a profound sense of human solidarity. They were not singing about civil rights, there is no erotic charge in the encounter; when they sing about breaking hearts, it\\u2019s clear that everything is mendable. The challenge of bebop had been met and quietly negotiated. Here was jazz with its original message: the individual matters, but others matter, too. The mutual respect with which Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and the other four exceptional musicians go through a repertoire of unforgettable standards selected by Granz is readily apparent. Songs like \\u201cThey Can\\u2019t Take That Away from Me\\u201d, \\u201cTenderly\\u201d and \\u201cApril in Paris\\u201d make Ella \u0026amp; Louis a jewel of simplicity and timeless humanity.'\\r\u003cbr\u003ePenguin Guide to Jazz\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eELLA FITZGERALD \u0026amp; LOUIS ARMSTRONG - vocals; LOUIS ARMSTRONG, trumpet \u0026amp; Ella Fitzgerald vocals; OSCAR PETERSON, piano; HERB ELLIS, guitar; RAY BROWN, bass; BUDDY RICH, drums\\r\u003cbr\u003eHollywood, August 16, 1956.
