Our Take

Louis Armstrong's latest album, "Louis In London," is a delightful romp through the swinging sounds of the British capital. From the moment Armstrong's iconic trumpet hits your ears, you know you're in for a treat.

The album kicks off with "Cheek to Cheek," a classic tune that Armstrong puts his own unique spin on. His gravelly vocals and masterful trumpet playing bring new life to this old chestnut, transporting listeners straight to the dance floors of 1920s London.

Throughout the album, Armstrong showcases his incredible range and versatility, from the upbeat bounce of "Ain't Misbehavin'" to the soulful crooning of "What a Wonderful World." Each track is a testament to Armstrong's enduring talent and charm.

One standout moment is the collaboration with British jazz legend, Jamie Cullum, on the track "La Vie En Rose." Their voices blend together effortlessly, creating a truly magical musical experience.

Overall, "Louis In London" is a must-listen for any jazz lover. Armstrong's infectious energy and undeniable talent shine through on every track, making this album a true gem in his extensive discography. So grab a cuppa, put on your dancing shoes, and let Louis Armstrong take you on a musical journey through the streets of London. Cheers!
