Listen "Louis Armstrong"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast, Alyn Shipton offers guidance to building a jazz library. He begins with records by the first great soloist in jazz, Louis Armstrong. Satchmo's early work is assessed by his friend and fellow trumpeter, Humphrey Lyttelton, while his legacy is explored by one of the finest contemporary New Orleans trumpeters, Abram Wilson. Ranging from the early Hot Five days of the 1920s to his final triumphs with the All Stars, Alyn suggests the best recordings by Louis to form the cornerstone of any jazz collection.
