The Voice of Louis Armstrong

My dad’s favorite trumpet player also was an extremely popular vocalist. I have documented many trumpet players who have also recorded their singing voices during the course of this show. Rarely do they commit to a full record of it. And none were as famous for it.

This musician popularized a singing style, while making some of the hottest jazz records in the 1920s and 30s with his trumpet.

So, get ready to hear the gravely voice of the guy they called pops in Volume 240: A Singing Satchmo.
