Q: There was just one time when Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa got together to play. What was/were the song(s) they made?

I couldn't find this recording session you mention, but I did find a 1953 tour on which Goodman's band, with Krupa on drums, jammed with Armstrong's band. Apparently Goodman did not get along well with Armstrong and quit the tour. I also found a 70s swing concert that featured Fitzgerald, Goodman and Krupa. Fitzgerald and Armstrong recorded together often.
