Cheek to Cheek: The Complete Duet Recordings

Das neue 7-LP-Set präsentiert erstmals auf Vinyl die komplette gemeinsame Aufnahmegeschichte der beiden Jazzlegenden und ist inhaltlich identisch mit der gleichnamigen, 2017 erschienenen 4-CD-Edition. Die 75 Tracks mit fast fünf Stunden Musik umfassen sämtliche gemeinsamen Decca-Singles, die drei klassischen Verve-Alben "Ella And Louis", "Ella And Louis Again" und "Porgy And Bess" sowie Live-Aufnahmen und seltene alternative Takes. Abgerundet wird das Box Set durch ein LP-großes Booklet mit seltenen Fotos, historischen LP- und Single-Covern, den originalen Album-Liner-Notes und einem Essay des Louis-Armstrong-Experten Ricky Riccardi.
