jazzbo Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 I'm not expecting it to be among Pops' greatest works, but I pre-ordered it. Quote
jfire Posted May 24, 2024 Report Posted May 24, 2024 "Hello Dolly" off the album is on Spotify and sounds excellent. Louis is in good form, judging from this track. If you like this era of his music, should be a treat. Quote
gvopedz Posted July 23, 2024 Author Report Posted July 23, 2024 'But as well as providing a decade-by-decade summary of Armstrong's career, the Louis in London album also captures his complex identity as a performer." https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240722-louis-armstrong-the-us-jazz-icon-with-a-controversial-legacy Quote

Yes. Thank you. I hadn't realized it was already released. Prostudiomasters was very accommodating. Quote
hbbfam Posted July 24, 2024 Report Posted July 24, 2024 Got the Prostudiomasters download. Album is a gas. Music is fun and SQ is very good. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted July 24, 2024 Report Posted July 24, 2024 Thanks for the heads up. Just downloaded it from Apple Music. Quote
Steve Gray Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 It was on this tour that Louis recorded an episode of 'Desert Island Discs' for the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009y1rb Quote
