What A Wonderful World

Louis & Ella at Christmas!

A tribute to the great Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald

One of music’s greatest partnerships was between Louis Armstrong – singer and trumpet player and one of the founding father’s of jazz – and the “Queen of Jazz,” Ella Fitzgerald. Their legendary music, both together as duet partners and apart as two of the world’s biggest stars, won hearts everywhere.

In this tribute, world-renowned trumpet virtuoso and vocalist Longineu Parsons joins forces with Tina Fabrique, known for her award-winning portrayal of Ella Fitzgerald in “Ella” as well as for being the beloved voice of the original theme for “Reading Rainbow”. Backed by a world-class band, they perform standards from Louis and Ella such as “My Funny Valentine” and “Basin St. Blues” alongside holiday favorites like “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Jingle Bells”. And, of course, “What A Wonderful World”!
