Editorial Reviews

Jazz icon Louis Armstrong, always the consummate entertainer, turned a 1971 award ceremony at the National Press Club into an impromptu performance that was one of his last concerts before passing away 5 months later. Joined by longtime band-mates Tyree Glenn and Tommy Gwaltney, Armstrong shows no signs of frailty on classics including Mack the Knife. The recording, originally a limited vinyl release by the National Press Club now available widely for the first time in both physical and digital formats, also includes highlights from Glenn s tribute concert to his late friend and teacher one year later. Armstrong often signed letters Red Beans and Rice-ly Yours, which makes for an apt title since his favorite recipes are included in the liner notes. 11 tracks, 58 minutes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Appalling Rip Off June 4, 2012
Format:Audio CD
Wow!
Simply stunned that Smithsonian Folkways, a respected outfit that I have quite a few albums from, would pawn this off with LARGE lettered "SATCHMO" emblazoned on the front as a Louis Armstrong album. True, it does have Mr. Armstrong playing from the National Press Club. But..only on the first 5 songs and on one track, he shares vocals with Tyree Glenn. The rest of the 6 tracks? It's strictly Tyree Glenn. If you back out the intro speechifying, Mr. Armstrong is only singing/playing for about 40% of the album's time. Disappointing and misleading, I think. If you're an over-the-top Louis Armstrong fan, you may overlook this lack of Louis (as well as the recording quality of the NPC live event). I wish Folkways had been a bit more honest with the packaging and had given Tyree Glenn top billing as he occupies most of the aural space on the album. Adding insult to the album, my delivered CD did NOT include the promised 16 page insert with Satchmo's favorite recipes. Liner notes? If you want 'em, you'll have to print them out yourself from the site. Come on Folkways! $17 for the CD and you can't provide the liner notes? Not worth the money, IMHO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Had It April 26, 2012
By Mike J.
Format:MP3 Music
Just 4 months before pops untimely death, Satchmo unsurprisingly manages to rip his trumpet apart and play some classics. It's incredibly hard to write a full review for this album but I strongly recommend any jazz buff or even beginner to buy this entire album. You won't regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should Have Been Surpressed June 6, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Louis would have never allowed this sad recording to be released. One of your reviewers writes about his golden trumpet. But Louis was clearly so weak that he could not play it. He sings and clowns but doesn't play. He had been transformed from a great musician to a shadow of his former self, more entertainer than artist. The onetime ad libs of Louis and the great Jack Teagarden are uttered word for word by Louis and Tyree Glenn on "Rockin' Chair." They are no longer amusing, just a pathetic reminder of the great first edition of the All-Stars a quarter century earlier.

No 16 page book of recipes was enclosed in my copy as billed on the cover and shockingly no liner notes which list of the musicians who tried to hold the old man up. Armstrong is missing altogether from tracks 6 through 11 which are devoted to a mediocre set played by Tyree Glenn and a group. Again no musicians are listed.

Smithsonian Folkways should be ashamed to resurrect this sad performance of a dying man.
