Louis Armstrong: "Satch Plays Fats"


This is one absolute gem of a recording.
Released in 1955, this is Satchmo at his best.
Fats Waller's great tunes
wrapped in Louie Armstrong's expressive voice
and incomparable trumpet.
It is available on CD.
You should totally grab a copy
(by which I mean "legally purchase from an authorized retail supplier")
Ahem.


This LP went to a collector in Connecticut.
