Armstrong’s celebrated theme, When it’s Sleepy Time Down South, written in 1932 by Leon and Otis Rene and Clarence Muse, kicks off this album and the emery-paper voice of Louie contrasts strikingly with the discreetly decorative piano of Billy Kyle and the limpid, low-register mellow-ness of Darensbourg’s clarinet. You can actually hear the hugely expensive grin as Pops exercises the highly personal scat vocabulary on the bridge.
The imperishable jazz standard, Indiana, always an all-stars favorite, gets the album into its swinging stride with Louis riding incisively over the top of the ensemble.
Give me a Kiss to Build a Dream On, written in 1961 by Oscar Hammerstein, Burt Kalman and Harry Ruby was a song recorded by Louis for Decca Records as a step towards the eventual consecration of a number 1 hit in the Billboard Hot 100. This title was not as overwhelming success but Mack The Knife (on Columbia) had made the number 20 spot early in 1956 and Blueberry Hill (Decca) got to number 29 towards the end of that year. (Louis finally made the number 1 position in the Hot 100 with Hello Dolly in May 1964, toppling the Beatles’ Can’t Buy Me Love from the top spot).
Between his three ‘Pops pops’ recitals Louis recapitulates the old King Oliver number The Bucket’s Got a Hole in It on which he shares vocal duties with Trummy Young. Young also contributes a fine muted trombone solo before the band builds to a characteristic All Stars climax, with Louis trilling on the fifth and sixth note of the F chord.
When the Saints, is another indispensable item on the All-Star’s concert menu and the anthem of the great traditional jazz revival. Here Louis plays it at strolling tempo; his trumpet solo is full of characteristic licks and his singing, as elsewhere on this album, is particularly spirited. He certainly seems on this recording to have been in exceptionally joyful form, despite his 62 years.
