Beschrijving

There is no jazz musician today who ignores the debt he owes to “Satchmo”. A genius of the trumpet, a pioneer of improvisation, and an unforgettable singer whose voice is certainly like no other, Louis Armstrong revolutionized the Afro-American song from the very start of jazz at the beginning of the 20th century.

He is a true musical legend. When he recorded this album with Oscar Peterson, who was widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists in jazz history, the essential part of his career, full of legendary recordings, was behind him.

However, the New Orleans-born star had lost none of his magic, which is apparent in his vibrant and facetious voice, imbued with striking emotion, and also in the sound of his jubilant and luminous trumpet. The two sides of Louis’ genius find a perfect balance with Oscar Peterson’s delicate playing. Jewelry of simplicity and sophistication, of joys and sorrows, of wisdom and insanity, this is an indispensable album for your collection.
