Our Take

Dr. John's tribute to the one and only Louis Armstrong, "Ske Dat De Dat - The Spirit Of Satch," is a boisterous and jubilant celebration of the jazz legend's timeless music. The album kicks off with an infectious energy that is impossible to resist, pulling you in with its irresistible combination of New Orleans jazz, blues, and funk.

Dr. John's distinctive gravelly voice is the perfect match for Armstrong's classic songs, adding a unique twist to each track. From the rollicking "What a Wonderful World" to the funky "Mack the Knife," Dr. John brings his own brand of magic to the music of Satchmo.

The infectious grooves and vibrant horn arrangements throughout the album will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. Songs like "When You're Smiling" and "That's My Home" showcase Dr. John's masterful piano playing and his ability to capture the spirit of Armstrong's music with flair and finesse.

"Ske Dat De Dat" is a joyful and exuberant tribute to one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Dr. John's passion for the music shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of New Orleans jazz and Louis Armstrong alike. So go ahead, let the Spirit of Satch sweep you off your feet and into a world of musical bliss.
