Album Description

Although this collection's title is a bit misleading, THE BEST OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG is nevertheless a wonderful set of music. The album was recorded at a 1965 Paris concert and features a later version of Louis Armstrong's All-Stars. Granted, Satchmo and the band do play many of their best-known songs, but these are not the greatest recorded versions of them nor does this album represent the best live All-Stars recording. Nevertheless, any live Louis Armstrong album is sure to entertain. This album delivers on that, and the interaction among Armstrong, the musicians, and the audience is especially spirited.
Disc one highlights include "Perdido," which features some wild piano work from the always-wonderful Billy Kyle and "Hello Dolly," a track on which Armstrong's rich vocals shine. Disc two opens with "Cocktails for Two" played as a bass solo by Buddy Catlett, who has a wonderfully woody tone and a breezy feel. Armstrong never ceases to amaze with his boundless energy and humor, incredibly sensitive vocal stylings, and bold trumpet playing (even here, at age 65). This disc is highly recommended to anyone wanting to hear why Armstrong was one of the most loved entertainers of the 20th century.
