Louis Armstrong made a greater impact on American popular music than any other single artist before or since. InchWhat A Wonderful WorldInch became his biggest commercial success, first in the UK and decades later in the rest of the world. Armstrong traveled to England to celebrate this unexpected hit and gave his last great performance, which found him looking back at his entire musical career. That performance, recorded at BBC studios in 1968, was miraculously captured in high fidelity audio and video, and we are proud to this collection for the first time. Album Tracks 1. When It's Sleepy Time Down South [At the BBC] 2. (Back Home Again in) Indiana [At the BBC] 3. A Kiss to Build a Dream on [At the BBC] 4. Hello, Dolly! [At the BBC] 5. Mame [At the BBC] 6. You'll Never Walk Alone [At the BBC] 1. Ole Miss [At the BBC] 2. Blueberry Hill [At the BBC] 3. Mack the Knife [At the BBC] 4. Rockin' Chair [At the BBC] 5. The Bare Necessities [At the BBC] 6.

The 20th century produced no shortage of legendary instrumentalists and vocalists but Louis Armstrong is the only figure who completely changed the way people played music on their instruments and he completely changed the way people sang. Perfecting the concept of the improvised solo, popularizing the use of scat singing, defining the concept of swing - those are just some of the ways InchSatchmoInch changed jazz, and American popular music - during his lifetime.
