Info for What A Wonderful World

The jazz pioneer delivered a pop-vocal masterpiece with this 1968 recording. Louis’ recording contributions to the peace scene were distinguished by powerful messages wrapped in the subtlest of lyrics. He chose material that emphasized the aspirations and feelings common to people regardless of their race or political persuasion – love of family, a place to call home and a life free of fear. His best work in this vein , “What a Wonderful World”, “Hello Brother’ and “The Home Fire”, can fortunately all be found on the one album – “What a Wonderful World”.

The “What a Wonderful World” album was originally released in 1968. The HighRes Remaster release contains the same 11 tracks as the original album. In addition to social commentaries, the content list includes a number of rollicking 30’s style jazz tunes and some easy listening fifties style ballads.

Louis Armstrong
was born on August 4, 1901, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the birthplace of jazz. He is considered the most important improviser in jazz, and he taught the world to swing. Armstrong, fondly known as "Satchmo" (which is short for "Satchelmouth" referring to the size of his mouth) or "Pops," had a sense of humor, natural and unassuming manner, and positive disposition that made everyone around him feel good. With his infectious, wide grin and instantly recognizable gravelly voice, he won the hearts of people everywhere. He had an exciting and innovative style of playing that musicians imitate to this day. Throughout his career, Armstrong spread the language of jazz around the world, serving as an international ambassador of swing. His profound impact on the music of the 20th century continues into the 21st century.

This album contains no booklet.
