20th Century Masters - Louis Armstrong

The owner of a distinctly gravelly voice, Louis Armstrong possessed a unique ability to connect with his audience through song. He contrasted his raspy delivery with genuine warmth and love for his fellow man, taking on the characteristics of a favourite uncle or grandfather. Part of an ongoing series dedicated to honouring the works of the past century's greatest musicians, 20th Century Masters: The Millenium Collection demonstrates Armstrong's brilliance. An excellent collection of the inimitable crooner's most popular hits, this album displays his skills as a trumpeter as well as a vocalist. Featuring vocal support from the legendary Bing Crosby, this recording cements Armstrong's reputation as a musical icon.
