Synopsis

Album Description
In 2001, during his State Department Jazz Ambassador's tour of West Africa, Scott Robinson began to reflect on the fact that Louis Armstrong had either written or co-written a lot of great music, much of which is seldom performed. Many of Armstrong's recordings are as startling - even avant-garde - today as when they were first made.
 

CD Reviews

Has to be heard to be believed

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Robinson, a swinging multi-instrumentalist, offers a startling set of Louis Armstrong compositions in a completely up-to-date fashion. It's no gimmick but Robinson solos more than convincingly on tenor sax, baritone sax, bass sax, echo cornet, trombonium, C-melody sax, double bell euphonium, F mezze-soprano sax and ophiclide!!!! One of the more eye-opening albums of the year."
