Our Take

Louis Armstrong, the man, the myth, the legend, teams up with various artists on "The Wonderful Duets" to bring us a thrilling and eclectic mix of musical collaborations. This album is a testament to Armstrong's enduring legacy and his ability to effortlessly harmonize with a range of different voices.

From the playful banter of "A Fine Romance" featuring Ella Fitzgerald, to the soul-stirring duet with Billie Holiday on "My Sweet Hunk O' Trash," Armstrong showcases his versatility and charm throughout. His distinctive gravelly voice adds a unique depth to each track, creating a magical blend of sounds that captivate and delight.

But let's not forget the other artists involved in this masterpiece. The smooth vocals of Bing Crosby on "Gone Fishin'" complement Armstrong's trumpet solos perfectly, while the sultry tones of Sarah Vaughan light up the room on "Lover Come Back to Me."

Overall, "The Wonderful Duets" is a must-listen for any music fan. It's a journey through time and space, a celebration of collaboration, and a testament to the enduring power of great music. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a drink, and let Louis Armstrong and friends transport you to a world of musical magic. Trust me, you won't regret it.
