Description

Avec : Louis Armstrong (trumpet, voice), Oscar Peterson (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), Louis Bellson (drums)
There is not a jazz musician today who does not know what he owes to "Satchmo". A genius trumpeter, a pioneer of improvisation, an unforgettable singer whose voice is unlike any other has revolutionized African American singing and witnessed the birth of jazz in the early twentieth century, Louis Armstrong is a true legend of music. When he records with Oscar Peterson, nothing less than one of the greatest pianists in the history of jazz, the essence of his career, marked by legendary recordings, is behind him. But the native of New Orleans has lost none of a genius palpable in a mischievous and playful voice or vibrating with striking emotion, as in a jubilant and luminous trumpet playing that forms a perfect balance with the delicacy of Oscar Peterson's playing. A gem of simplicity and sophistication, of joys and sorrows, of wisdom and madness, this record is a must-have in your record collection.
