What a Wonderful World (Jazz Time) by Louis Armstrong (CD - 06/18/1996)
Description:
"What a Wonderful World (Jazz Time)" (06/18/1996) Jazz Instrument Armstrong, Louis, Jazz Time RecordsPersonnel: Louis Armstrong (vocals, trumpet); Trummy Young (trombone); Edmond Hall, Joe Darensbourg (clarinet); Billy Kyle (piano); Billy Cronk, Dale Jones (bass); Danny Barcelona, Barret Deems (drums). Recorded in California in 1962 and 1965. As one of the primary innovators in jazz and one of the most memorable entertainers of the 20th century, Louis Armstrong represents ceaseless optimism and easygoing virtuosity, such that there are only good Armstrong recordings--except for the really good ones. Although this disc takes its title from one of Armstrong's most beloved tunes, it should not be confused with the classic version that most listeners will remember and which represented Armstrong's last hit record before his death in 1971. In fact, the version contained here was performed several years before the lavish studio recording, sans string section. Like the rest of the songs on this disc, it was taken from one of several live dates in California in the '60s, a period when Armstrong was experiencing something of a revival of his celebrity. While the recording quality is occasionally distracting, the album captures Armstrong and his band in moments of pure exuberance, traversing the worlds of Dixieland ("When the Saints Go Marching In"), popular standards ("Indiana"), and cabaret ("Mack the Knife") with effortless grace. From hearing his easy rapport with the audience and their enthusiastic reception, one can almost see the grinning faces.

What a Wonderful World (Decca) by Louis Armstrong (Cassette - 02/27/1996)
"What a Wonderful World (Decca)" (02/27/1996) Jazz Instrument Armstrong, Louis, Decca JazzPersonnel includes: Louis Armstrong (vocals); Tyree Glenn (trombone); Joe Muranyi (clarinet); Marty Napoleon (piano); Buddy Catlett (bass); Danny Barcelona (drums). Recorded in New York, New York and Las Vegas, Nevada in 1968. Includes original release liner notes by John F. Szwed & additional liner notes by Bob Thiele. Only the most hardhearted of cynics could resist the melancholy sweetness of this album's beloved title track. The song was a hit in 1968 and only became the opening cut on this wonderful album some 20 years later. This well-known recording of the tender ballad--complete with a 16-piece string section--is lovely enough. But it is Pops' gravelly voice and inimitable signature delivery that really bring out its beautiful, aching quality. Also included are such hits as "Cabaret," "Dream A Little Dream Of Me," and the Mills Brothers' "I Guess I'll Get The Papers And Go Home." New songs such as "The Home Fire and "Give Me Your Kisses" show that Armstrong, even in his later years, was still bursting with personality and the essence of jazz. One of his best-selling albums ever, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD is, well, wonderful! This disc acts as a fond tribute to one of the most important figures in American music.
