Our Take

Louis Armstrong's "Louis In London" is a delightful romp through the legendary jazz musician's time across the pond. From the moment he steps foot in London town, Armstrong brings his signature style and charm to every track on this album.

The opening track, "Hello, Dolly!," sets the mood perfectly with its infectious energy and catchy melody. Armstrong's iconic trumpet playing shines throughout, effortlessly blending with the lively instrumentation.

Tracks like "What a Wonderful World" showcase Armstrong's tender side, with heartfelt vocals that tug at the heartstrings. His voice is like a warm hug on a cold day, enveloping listeners in a blanket of pure musical bliss.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Louis In London." The album also delves into darker themes, such as on the haunting track "Black and Blue." Armstrong's raw emotion is palpable as he grapples with the pain of discrimination and injustice.

Overall, "Louis In London" is a masterclass in musicality and emotion. Armstrong's talent shines brightly on every track, proving why he is one of the all-time greats in the jazz world. So grab a cup of tea, put on your dancing shoes, and let Louis Armstrong transport you to a bygone era of pure musical magic. Cheers, old chap!
