Fitzgerald and Pass…Again is a 1976 studio album by Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by jazz guitarist Joe Pass, the second of four duet albums they recorded together after Take Love Easy (1973).

Fitzgerald’s performance on this album won her the 1977 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album. The duo would record two later albums together, Speak Love (1983), and Easy Living (1986).

In his AllMusic review, critic Scott Yanow wrote that the album “finds the duo uplifting 14 superior standards with subtle improvising and gentle swing.”
