About this product
Jazz icon Louis Armstrong, always the consummate entertainer, turned a 1971 award ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington DC into an impromptu performance—despite recent poor health. It was one of his last concerts before he passed away 5 months later. Joined by longtime band-mates Tyree Glenn and Tommy Gwaltney, Armstrong shows no signs of frailty while singing, and to everyone’s surprise, playing trumpet on classics including “Mack the Knife” and “Rocking Chair.” The recording was originally a limited vinyl by the National Press Club in 1972. Armstrong often signed letters “Red Beans and Rice-ly Yours,” which makes for an apt title for the recording especially since his favorite recipes—everything from Louisiana Caviar to the Sazerac—are included in the liner notes, as they were in the original pressing. 11 tracks, 58 minutes. This recording was produced in collaboration with The National Press Club and The Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation. Album Tracks 1. Introductions / When It's Sleepy Time Down South 2. Hello Dolly 3. Rockin' Chair 4. Boy from New Orleans 5. Mack the Knife 6. Royal Garden Blues 7. Mood Indigo 8. A Kiss to Build a Dream on 9. Love for Sale 10. It's Alright with Me 11. Crazy Rhythm

UK collection. Louis Armstrong had one of the longest recording careers of any artist of the 20th Century. Whilst parts of his career are well represented digitally, his singles from the mid-1950s to the early '60s are often overlooked, mainly because they were issued by many different labels. The collection attempts to remedy this. It features sides from Capitol, Columbia, Dot, MGM, Pye, RCA, Roulette, Verve and more. Some on CD for the first time in their single edits with some previously unissued on CD stereo versions including the complete unedited single versions of 'Calypso' and 'Now You Has Jazz' from High Society and The Five Pennies Saints'. Almost all recordings are extremely rare on CD and of course mastered to Jasmine's usual high standards. A set to fill holes in many an Armstrong collection. Album Tracks 1. A Theme from the Threepenny Opera (Mack the Knife) 2. The Faithful Hussar 3. When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along 4. Six Foot Four 5. Now You Has Jazz 6. High Society Calypso 7. Rain Rain 8. I Never Saw a Better Day 9. Can't We Be Friends 10. Top Hat, White Tie and Tails 11. East of the Sun West of the Moon 12. Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen 13. A Woman Is a Sometime Thing 14. I Love Jazz 15. The Five Pennies Saints 16. Just the Blues 17. Battle Hymn of the Republic 18. The Beat Generation 19. Some Day You'll Be Sorry 20. The Formula for Love 21. Struttin' with Some Barbecue 22. Kisses in Der Nacht 23. Onkel Satchmo's Lullaby 24. Battle Royal 25. Duke's Place
