Porgy & Bess marks the third and final album collaboration between Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. It was produced by Norman Granz for his Verve label. After recording a series of duets in the late 1940s for the Decca label, they were summoned by Granz in 1956 to make a series of sessions that would result in the wonderful LP'sElla and Louis and Ella and Louis Again.
Their final album together consists of a selection of tunes from George & Ira Gershwin’s songs for Du Bose Heyward’s play Porgy. Like its predecessors, Porgy & Bess received a five-star review in Down Beat, with Gene Lees stating that, “As the tracks progress, you think she is cutting Armstrong –only to turn around and believe that Armstrong is cutting her. The truth, of course, is that they are outdoing themselves. This is a Porgy performance you would be ill-adviced to miss.” On this album, Ella and Louis were backed by a full orchestra conducted and arranged by Russell Garcia.
