  • Description

    This is a special, modern big band tribute to the greatest jazz musician of all time - Louis Armstrong. Most of the (very hip) arrangements are by bandleader JIM MCNEELY, with one arranged by HARRY CONNICK JR.The 62 minutes of music here is recorded live-in-concert in Denmark in early 2001, and allows plenty of blowing room for New Orleans native trumpet star LEROY JONES, plus others from the highly talented and respected DANISH RADIO JAZZ ORCHESTRA.This CD succeeds in accomplishing the difficult feat of interpreting Louis Armstrong's wonderful music in a modern big band context, in a way which will delight both traditional and modern jazz lovers. JIM MCNEELY (conductor, piano), LEROY JONES (trumpet,vocal), HENRIK BOLBERG, THOMAS FRYLAND (trumpet), VINCENT NILSSON, STEEN HANSEN, PETER JENSEN (trombone), MICHAEL HOVE (alto sax), TOMAS FRANCK, UFFE MARKUSSEN (tenor sax), NIKILAJ BENTZON (piano)
