| | Louis Armstrong Satch Play Fats Vinyl LP Record Louis Armstrong Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
In 1955, Louis "Satchmo/Satch" Armstrong, along with vocalist Velma Middleton, got into the studio to pay tribute to a late, legendary jazz pianist/singer/songwriter/entertainer, Fats Waller. All the standards are here: "Honeysuckle Rose," "Squeeze Me," "Ain't Misbehavin," rendered in a fine & mellow but gently, genially swinging fashion. Armstrong's trumpet is superb, and his voice carries the good-time spirit of Waller's music. Nice clarinet from swing clarinet legend Barney Bigard, too. This music recalls a time when jazz was a dominant pop form, capable of irreverent fun as well as heartfelt soloing. A perfect tonic for a hard day at the Office called Life.
Based upon the artistic and commercial success of "Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy", George Avakian gathered the All Stars into the studio again for a second session to record tunes by Fats Waller. This is also a stunning album: the All Stars, at the to

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks ...

Satch Play Fats album
$13.69
Recorded between 1960 and 1967. Includes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian.
Digitally remastered by Eliot Goshman (1995, Taragon Studios, Deer Park, New York).
Beginning with Louis Armstrong, through Harry James and Bobby Hackett of the Jackie Gleason Orchestra, the trumpet was once a king in pop music. This was true even in '60s-era easy listening, as demonstrated by the success of Al Hirt, Herb Alpert, and the ultra-shrewd German musician Bert Kaempfert, who probably was as responsible as anyone else in rehabilitating Germany's post-war world image. The Taragon label is re-releasing all of Kaempfert's many albums in an ambitious reissue ...
