Our Take

Louis Armstrong has once again proven himself as a true jazz legend with his latest album, "Birth Of The Allstars." This collection of tracks is a delightful blend of swing, blues, and Armstrong's signature scat singing that will have you tapping your feet from start to finish.

From the opening track, "Stompin' at the Savoy," to the sultry "When It's Sleepy Time Down South," Armstrong's trumpet playing is as smooth as ever. His band, The Allstars, are in top form, providing infectious rhythms and tight harmonies that perfectly complement Armstrong's vocals.

But it's not just the music that makes "Birth Of The Allstars" stand out - it's the personality and charisma that Armstrong brings to each and every song. His infectious smile seems to leap out of the speakers, inviting listeners to join in the fun and revel in the joy of music.

Whether you're a die-hard jazz enthusiast or just looking for some toe-tapping tunes to brighten your day, "Birth Of The Allstars" is a must-listen. Louis Armstrong may have been gone for decades, but his music is timeless and continues to bring joy to audiences around the world. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let the sounds of The Allstars wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
