Synopsis

Album Description
There is something about a duet that gives it a special quality, a certain intangible something, for special quality, a certain intangible something, for In many cases neither one of the two artists is singing the kind of song he or she is normally associated with. Hence they tend to be kind of jokey or humorous numbers, wit" a lot of kidding around going on, and sometimes with plenty of very hip dialogue. (It has to be said that they are usually hugely enjoyable too!) Another ingredient is that of mutual respect, professional admiration, even love, which often shines through a particular performance - and the pairings of Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan and Louis Armstrong all immediately spring to mind .- the great Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong significantly being the common denominator in each duo just mentioned.
