Ella Fitzgerald – Ella and Louis (SHM-SACD single layer)

When two artists have reached the point where they simply have to title an album with their first names, there are no questions left. It becomes almost unimportant that the lineup otherwise still consisted of Oscar Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on drums. The recording dates from 1956 and is probably the most important mono recording in the history of jazz.

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal’s SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums’ master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L’Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. – Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector’s items for the Japanese market.
