Our Take

Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson is a jazz collaboration for the ages, blending the velvety smooth vocals of Armstrong with the virtuosic piano skills of Peterson.

From the opening track, "That Old Feeling," it's clear that these two legends are in perfect harmony. Armstrong's signature gravelly voice is as captivating as ever, while Peterson's playful piano riffs add a touch of whimsy to the proceedings.

Throughout the album, the chemistry between Armstrong and Peterson is undeniable. Tracks like "Let's Fall in Love" and "You Go to My Head" showcase their impeccable timing and improvisational skills, with each musician pushing the other to new heights.

But it's not all smooth sailing on Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson. The duo takes some risks, like on the daring reinvention of "Sweet Lorraine," which sees Armstrong playfully riffing on the melody while Peterson lays down some funky grooves.

In the end, Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson is a triumph of collaboration and creativity. It's a testament to the enduring power of jazz music, and a reminder of the immense talent of these two iconic musicians. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just looking for something new to listen to, this album is sure to delight and inspire.
