Needle Time

  Ella Fitzgerald And Louis Armstrong - Ella And Louis [MG V-4003 USA 2022 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Two of the most iconic voices (and one trumpet) of all time, backed by Buddy Rich on drums, Ray Brown on bass, Herb Ellis on guitar and Oscar Peterson in piano. Mastered from the original mono master tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling sound and pressed at QRP as part of the Verve Acoustic Sounds series. This album was originally recorded and released on 1956, the age of the tape is quite apparent and this could well be the very last time this tape gets run through in a mastering studio. This very organic recording is so well recorded by Norman Granz, that it is hard to believe that it is in mono.
