Info for Louis In London (Live At The BBC) (Remastered)

Eine musikalische Wiederentdeckung mit nicht nur historischem Gewicht, sondern auch unendlich viel Swing und Gefühl: als Trompeter und Sänger hat Louis Armstrong die amerikanische Jazz- und Popmusik mehr beeinflusst als jeder andere Künstler davor oder danach. Im Sommer 1968 reiste er nach London, nur wenige Wochen nachdem er die Beatles mit „What A Wonderful World" von Platz 1 der britischen Charts verdrängt hatte, und nahm in den BBC-Studios einen Auftritt voller Vitalität und ansteckender Freude auf. Er selbst hielt diese Aufnahme für eine der besten seiner gesamten Karriere.

Fünf Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod veröffentlicht Verve den Mitschnitt unter dem Titel „Louis In London“ jetzt erstmals komplett und sorgfältig remastert, begleitet von ausführlichen Linernotes vom Armstrong-Biographen Ricky Riccardi. Hier erlebt man „Satchmo“ in all seinen Facetten, mit Jazzklassikern wie “Indiana” und “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South”, seinem Chart-Hit "What A Wonderful World" und Versionen von Evergreens wie "Mack The Knife" oder "The Bare Necessities" aus Disneys „Dschungelbuch“.

Louis Armstrong
was born on August 4, 1901, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the birthplace of jazz. He is considered the most important improviser in jazz, and he taught the world to swing. Armstrong, fondly known as "Satchmo" (which is short for "Satchelmouth" referring to the size of his mouth) or "Pops," had a sense of humor, natural and unassuming manner, and positive disposition that made everyone around him feel good. With his infectious, wide grin and instantly recognizable gravelly voice, he won the hearts of people everywhere. He had an exciting and innovative style of playing that musicians imitate to this day. Throughout his career, Armstrong spread the language of jazz around the world, serving as an international ambassador of swing. His profound impact on the music of the 20th century continues into the 21st century.

This album contains no booklet.
