Why does an entry point to Ella need assistance from Louis Armstrong? His vocal instrument was unique, peculiar and spectacular. While they could certainly play off each other, his attempts at vocally harmonizing _with_ Ella are mostly cringeworthy musically. Rather than recordings where she had to adjust to his limitations (like letting him choose the key), why not instead listen to any of her highly-acclaimed "songbook" recordings?
