Our Take

Louis Armstrong And The Good Book is a delightful romp through the intersection of jazz and gospel, with the legendary Armstrong leading the way with his iconic raspy vocals and masterful trumpet playing.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Shadrack," a rollicking tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Armstrong's effortless charisma shines through on tracks like "Jonah and The Whale" and "Go Down Moses," as he effortlessly blends traditional spirituals with his signature swing style.

However, the standout moment on the album is undoubtedly Armstrong's rendition of "Ezekiel Saw The Wheel." His playful delivery and brilliant improvisations make this track a joy to listen to, showcasing his unparalleled talent and charm.

The backing band, The All Stars, provides a solid foundation for Armstrong to shine, with tight horn arrangements and swinging rhythms that perfectly complement his voice and trumpet. The musicianship on display here is top-notch, with each member bringing their A-game to every track.

Overall, Louis Armstrong And The Good Book is a truly unique and enjoyable listening experience. Whether you're a fan of jazz, gospel, or just good music in general, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. Armstrong may have left us, but his music continues to inspire and delight listeners all over the world.
