Louis Armstrong - Under The Stars (1957) [VINYL] - Classic Records 4x12x45rpm - 24-bit/96kHz plus CD-compatible format

One of the lesser-known Louis Armstrong sets, this album was recorded during the same day that resulted in his similar I've Got the World on a String.

One of Will Friedwald's Desert Island Disks. Here ya go. Some folks say Louis stopped being important when he started singing. Those people are morons.
This Classic Records set has four 12" vinyl disks. Two songs each disk, each disk is single sided. And each disk is 45 rpm. Aww, hell just look the the pics. You'll figure it out.




Allmusic review by Scott Yanow
"One of the lesser-known Louis Armstrong sets, this album was recorded during the same day that resulted in his similar I've Got the World on a String. The great trumpeter/singer is backed by a string orchestra arranged and conducted by Russ Garcia. He performs eight veteran standards, only one of which ("Body and Soul") was associated with him in the past. Although the accompaniment is pretty straight and unadventurous, it is enjoyable to hear Satch's interpretations of such songs as "Have You Met Miss Jones," "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Home" and "East of the Sun." Many of his trumpet solos during the medium-tempo material are brief but dramatic, and his singing is typically expressive and good-humored. This obscurity was reissued very quietly by Polygram on CD in the mid-1990s. "
