Info for Louis In London (Live At The BBC) (Remastered)
More than just another ‘unreleased recording’, Louis In London captures the last great performance by the most influential American musician of all time. On his personal copy of the tapes, Louis affixed a note to the tape box. On it he wrote, ‘FOR THE FANS’. Therein is our mandate, our privilege, and collective charge: To share Louis’ message and these recordings with the World. Louis’ music has the widest global appeal and the music release is supported by live video footage of every track, capturing some of the most inspired singing and trumpet playing of Louis’ career.
The last great performance by the most influential American musician of all time, an endearing live performance recorded for the BBC in 1968 and captured in high fidelity audio. Finally this legendary performance can be heard, officially released for the first time.
Full of vitality and joy, the recording manifested some of the most inspired singing and trumpet playing of Louis’ career. A performance of songs spanning his entire career, including the hits like ‘Hello, Dolly!’, ‘Mack The Knife’ and a song recorded on a whim that unexpectedly rocketed to #1 and became an eternal smash ‘What a Wonderful World’.

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.
