The Platinum Collection by Louis Armstrong
If you or a friend love jazz music you will certainly have heard of the great Louis Armstrong or Sachmo as he was known to his friends and fans. He was an American Jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana.
This man, almost singlehandedly, shaped the style of Jazz with his distinctive gravelly voice and his amazing trumpet playing. In fact, he could quite easily be called the world’s greatest, most famous and most influential trumpet player.
He recorded his music as a solo artist as well as collaborating with other great singing and musical artists of his time, such as Bing Crosby, Barrett Deems, Louis Jordan, Velma Middleton, Johnny Williams, and Ella Fitzgerald.
Many of his songs are household favorites and have been recorded by other singers to the extent that very few people actually realize that Satchmo originally performed these before anyone else. “The Platinum Collection” sung and played by Louis Armstrong is a vinyl triple record album showcasing many of Armstrong’s famous and not so famous songs.
