The duo will perform hits from the Great American Songbook, paying homage to the landmark musical partnership between Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, both legends of the 1950s jazz scene.

Melbourne Internation Jazz Festival Artistic Director, Michael Tortoni, says the performance will be an ideal way to open the Festival’s 20th-anniversary program.

“I cannot think of better artists than Patti Austin, James Morrison and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to bring this wonderful celebration to life in the centenary of Ella’s birth.”
