Description:

Personnel: Louis Armstrong (vocals, trumpet); Ella Fitzgerald (vocals); Perry Botkin, Bud Scott (guitar); Kid Ory, Tyree Glenn (trombone); Billy Kyle (piano); Red Callender, Arvell Shaw (bass instrument); Barrett Deems (drums).
This extensive compilation of vocal tracks from the latter part of Louis Armstrong`s career features many of his most popular performances, including the 1960s hits "Hello Dolly" and "What a Wonderful World," and his wonderfully relaxed duet with Bing Crosby on "Gone Fishin`." However, even on these more commercially slanted songs, the trumpeter`s legendary musical skill is apparent--his soaring solo on "Dolly" effortlessly cruises the instrument`s upper registers, and his vocal interpretation of "Mack the Knife" is a masterpiece of jazz singing.
