Description

|
|
|
Pops reaches back to his roots with songs by jazz pioneer W.C. Handy ("Ole Miss Blues," "Basin Street Blues," and "New Orleans Function/Free as a Bird"), invokes romance with "La vie en rose" and "Give Me a Kiss to Build a Dream On," waxes nostalgic with "The Bucket's Got a Hole in It," "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?" and "When It's Sleepy Time Down South," and pulls out all the stops with "Basin Street Blues," "Struttin' With Some Barbecue," "Muskrat Ramble," "High Society Calypso," "Tiger Rag," and "Now You Has Jazz." Indeed! "Taken from one of several live dates in California in the '60s, a period when Armstrong was experiencing something of a revival of his celebrity. The legendary trumpeter and singer and his band are heard in moments of pure exuberance, traversing the worlds of Dixieland ('When the Saints Go Marching In'), popular standards ('Indiana'), and cabaret ('Mack the Knife'), with effortless grace.”—All Music Guide
