I played trumpet for 5 years as a child and instantly recognised the genius of Pops playing. My futile attempts at jazz standards were just hot air passing through the horn compared to the power and control of Louis Armstrong.

It's time to invest in some audiophile recordings of my favourites. Any pointers for a quality pressing of St James Infirmary or Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen?

Would also love a clean pressing of the spoken intro version of What A Wonderful World.

Thanks!

Considered by some to be the greatest musical entertainer of the 20th century, Louis was certainly one of the greatest ever trumpeters with an unsurpassed clarity of tone and a style all his own. Louis was introduced to the trumpet at the Waif's Home in New Orleans, a juvenile delinquent institute he was sent to after being arrested for firing a pistol in the air while celebrating new year. His unique gravelly voice is as instantly recognisable as his trumpet playing, and he's often credited with inventing scat singing style.
