5.0 out of 5 stars
Early Stereo Armstrong on Verve!, September 11, 2005
This review is from: Silver Collection (Audio CD)
Mastered by Dennis Drake, this collection shows off Louis in the American Classics of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Rogers/Hart to name a few. Recorded at Capitol Studio "B" (most likely) 1957 and directed by Russ Garcia (who also arranged Porgy & Bess). It's an amazing recording that shows the beautiful string arrangment over Louis and you can clearly hear the charming hollow presence of Capitol's studio as he blows. A CD that's been in print for a long time, but deserves a listen. If you've picked up Louis with Oscar Peterson and the Ella And Louis Cds, let this one be your next dip into dippermouth and his strident late-50's output. Excellent.
