Free Music Review: Louis sold his songs without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This single CD retrospective of artistry by the immortal Louis Armstrong is a keeper for his fans. The quality of the sound is good and I like the tracks on this disc. Sure, it's far from all of his best; but as a single CD retrospective this ain't too shabby!
The album starts off with the exquisite "What A Wonderful World;" this was recorded later in Louis's career and he still sounds a strong and marvelous as ever! The musical arrangement makes great use of the brass, strings and percussion. Awesome! "Cabaret" features Louis's vocals squarely in the spotlight--which is exactly where they should be--and Louis sings this with panache and all the positive energy anyone could ever muster! Moreover, listen also for "Dream A Little Dream Of Me;" Satchmo does this so wonderfully; I predict that you will enjoy this ballad very much.
Of course, "Hello, Dolly" was another huge hit for Louis Armstrong later on in his career; and just one listen will proves why. Love that arrangement! Louis Armstrong never sings a superfluous note and his gravelly voice just can't be beat. "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" is another tremendous hit; listen for that trumpet flourish at the very beginning of this number.
"Mack The Knife" is a good one from Louis Armstrong; and "Gone Fishin'" is a great duet between the great Bing Crosby and Louis himself. What a duet this is--I know you'll like it just as much as I do. In addition, there's also "Blueberry Hill" which sparkles like champagne when Louis performs this to perfection.
"Ain't Misbehavin'" is a whole lot of fun to hear; and the band that plays with Satchmo really plays beautifully. The album ends with a live track of Louis singing "When It's Sleepy Time Down South;" this makes a strong ending for this album and I also like this very much.
The liner notes have good artwork and there's an informative essay as well.
The great Louis Armstrong lives on through his fine and countless contributions to the arts. I recommend this for Louis Armstrong fans and people who enjoy classic jazz vocals.
