Louis Armstrong

Meets Oscar Peterson Louis Armstrong Limited edition

Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson (Verve MGV-8322) presents Satchmo singing and playing standards that were not part of his

usual repertoire. He was masterfully backed on the album by Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Louis Bellson. With the exception

of the sessions the two musicians made with Ella Fitzgerald, Peterson and Armstrong would never record together again. This

sort of accompaniment is unique in Armstrong's discography, but it's not the only thing that makes this album important. Of equal

significance is the fact that Louis had never previously recorded the majority of the wonderful standard songs selected by Granz, and

would never record them again.
