依照美國樂評人的說法，如果我們要為艾拉與路易斯這兩位偉大的爵士歌手準備歌詞本，其實就算丟2本電話簿給他們，他們照樣可以把一串姓名、住址、電話唱成無與倫比的美麗歌曲。
艾拉和路易斯，絕對是爵士樂史上演唱技巧最好的男女歌手，而且他們在演出時總是非常習慣跟樂團即興互動，甚至以人聲跟樂器對飆，當這兩位偉大歌手同台時，更是火花四射，隨時令聽眾目不暇給。為他們兩位伴奏的，常常是鋼琴大師奧斯卡彼德生、吉他手赫柏艾利斯、貝斯手雷布朗、鼓手巴第瑞奇、路易斯士貝洛森等一流樂手搭配的樂團，也時常有大編制樂團的配合。而不論是在何種伴奏之下，艾拉與路易斯的演出，總是完美無瑕，令人歡喜讚嘆。
1956年七月艾拉．費茲潔拉與路易斯．阿姆斯壯兩位爵士經典人物無心插柳的合作，成就了一張爵士史上至今最令人難忘的專輯『艾拉與路易斯』，而由於當時以奧斯卡彼德生三重奏（吉他手賀伯．艾利斯ˋ貝斯手雷．布朗）為主軸的伴奏班底加上超級鼓手巴迪瑞奇都是一時之選的樂手，在某個程度上路易斯阿姆斯壯就像許多歌手的老師一樣，後輩無不以他的演奏和歌唱做為標竿。特別是他演唱時能發出如樂器般無人能及的聲音，更是二十世紀絕無僅有的第一號爵士樂人物。艾拉在爵士女伶的無上祟高地位，則是已經成為名留青史的第一天后典範...[Ella & Louis]-是艾拉與路易斯首度合作的專輯錄音，因而更顯得彌足珍貴。演唱部份大多先由艾拉開始，路易斯先以小號伴奏，隨後才加入他的演唱或兩人合唱。這種兩人對唱式的競演，非得他們兩人才有辦法達到如此完美的地步。不論是樂曲的挑選或伴奏樂手的表現，令人折服。特別是艾拉的擬聲演唱或優美的旋律表情，為無後者可及的上選之作。在此次濫觴之作後，樂迷無不期待能再度欣賞到原班人馬的精彩演出。果然一年之後，終於將這些巨星齊聚，完成堪稱經典二部曲的『艾拉與路易的重逢』[Ella & Louis Again ]-除了鼓手換成白人爵士鼓手的希望路易斯貝爾生外，原班人馬持續前作慢板搖擺樂曲的調性，詮釋美國當代作曲家著名歌本（Songbook）中的經典曲目。其中的"Makin’ Whoopee"、" Autumn In New York"、" Stompin’ at the Savoy"、" Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off"、" These Foolish Things"ˋ" Willow Weep For Me"、" Love Is Here To Stay"、" Ill Wind"都是百聽不厭的絕妙歌曲詮釋。
全本精華百年全球首發套裝典藏【4CD】除珍藏Ella And Louis艾拉與路易[TAS超級發燒名盤/AMG四星半強力推薦/Downbeat百大爵士經典專輯]以及Ella & Louis Again艾拉與路易重逢之外，再輔以The Decca Singles的寶藏，Porgy And Bess的菁華，和各種現場的Bonus版本...此一套百年神作的4CD世紀典藏套裝將寫下歷史的不朽軌跡...
