The Pure Genius Of Louis Armstrong: We Have All The Time In The World

Stunning condition vinyl is unmarked houded in a very good cover with minor rub on top and bottom of spine.

The improvisational personality of Louis Armstrong's solo performances revolutionised the convention for the jazz ensemble during the 1920s. The distinctive reverberation of his voice and inventive trumpet work became synonymous with Dixieland swing and secured "Satchmo" his legendary status. Throughout The Pure Genius of Louis Armstrong, we are given ample reminders of exactly why. Beyond every timeless recording lies another, each distinct in character and dripping with nostalgia. While most are accustomed to the joys of "We Have All the Time in the World" and "Hello Dolly", it is less- recognised tracks like the bourbon-drinking blues of "Mood Indigo" and riverboat cadence of "Only You (& You Alone)" that prove the real treat. --George Lees.
