Free Music Notes for Armstrong Meets Peterson
Free Music Review: The Definition of a Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
"The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment." Elbert Hubbard
How can you define real greatness? How can something so singular and sublime be defined with mere words? This recording speaks for itself. Simply put, this is one hell of an effort, a collaboration of the highest nature. If you are a fan of jazz, a fan of great music, then place your order today.
When this album was first cut back in October of 1957, fans, critics and musicians alike were at first a bit apprehensive & sceptical. Many of the so-called experts of the day considered it an unwise move for both Satchmo and Peterson's trio. Sure, they had all cut a classic recording with Ella a year before. But Pops, the king of the dixieland era on his OWN with O.P. and the boys was looking like an unwise partnership. It was viewed as a potential regressive step down for the latter, and too unsuitable a step for the former (a simple case of biting off more than one can chew). But Armstrong would prove all the critics wrong again (of course with a little help from his friends)! Satch proved yet once again that he could play and croon with anyone, anytime, anywhere. And the results were magical!
We dont get to hear Pops on his trumpet a whole lot (however his opening trumpet solo on "You Go to My Head" leaves me in goosebumps every time I hear it!), but we do get to hear his serene and sandy voice backed by one hell of a great quartet - Peterson (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Louis Bellson (drums) - all playing in top form. Ellis in particular gives such an understated performance on this one, especially the way he plays with the great Ray Brown on bass.
I could write pages for ages about this one and still not do it justice. One reviewer complained about the hiss in the background, but I only heard that slightly on two songs and not enough to complain or dock it even one tenth of star. This one is legendary! This one is definitely worth every penny and then some! If you don't own it yet, order it today.
