1956 年艾拉‧費茲潔拉與路易斯‧阿姆斯壯兩人無心插柳的合作了一張「艾拉與路易斯」，沒想到卻成為大受歡迎的熱門專輯。成功的主因除了兩位歌手默契十足的演唱之外，擔綱伴奏的奧斯卡‧彼得生三重奏也功不可沒。天王、天后，加上超級三重奏，效果當然不會讓人失望，在樂迷的殷切期盼下，一年之後這些巨星再度團聚，完成這張「艾拉與路易斯重聚」，不但讓兩位歌手展現絕妙的歌喉，也帶您進入濃濃的搖擺風情！

Stylistically, singer Ella Fitzgerald and trumpeter/singer Louis Armstrong had very different histories; he started out in Dixieland before branching out into classic jazz and swing, whereas Fitzgerald started out as a swing-oriented big-band vocalist before becoming an expert bebopper. But the two of them have no problem finding common ground on Ella and Louis Again, which is primarily a collection of vocal duets (with the backing of a solid rhythm section led by pianist Oscar Peterson). One could nit-pick about the fact that Satchmo doesn't take more trumpet solos, but the artists have such a strong rapport as vocalists that the trumpet shortage is only a minor point. Seven selections find either Fitzgerald or Armstrong singing without the other, although they're together more often than not on this fine recording.
