"AUTUMN IN NEW YORK" ELLA FITZGERALD & LOUIS ARMSTRONG (1957)

Crunchy, rustling leaves. Crisp, cool air. Fall has always been the season I enjoy most in NYC. The slow, peaceful weather traits are a perfect complement to the pace and energy of the city. Like many of their collaborations, Ella and Armstrong are also a perfect combination. In “Autumn in New York”, the duo took the jazz standard and created a timeless rendition that feels as current as the day it was recorded.

“Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel. They're making me feel I'm home.”
